I think I understand...lol. But I sent the info to my buddy so that when he gets a chance he can take a look at it and get the right numbers for me. I just hope to have all the machine work done and parts at the house by the time I transfer back state side and can get her back on the road while i am...

Thank you Ill have to see if my buddy can pull the engine out of the crate it is in and get me those numbers. have the rods so I can check them there. Just to make sure I got this right. The numbers on the case or the crank? Are they the same number? I take the numbers from each rod and subtract the...

I have a manual. but not with me. I have the bearings, rods, wrist pins, and pistons in my locker right now floating some where off of Japan. The rest of the engine and everything I have to go with it and the books are sitting in the shed in water tight containers. I didnt want to take a chance on w...

I know I have posted on here about bearing sizes before. I have been told to plastigauge my bearings to find out if they are still good or not. I would do that but cant really do it. Because the engine was pulled apart about a year ago by my buddy for me while I am on deployment. When I first starte...

i tried to go back to it but it isnt working i am on limited connectivity some links work some dont. i am underway on a ship and internet is sketchy most times. hell it took me 20 minutes to get online here.

reelrazor i hear you could be able to get the rods honed to fit the 4TV pins...is this true? i tired to do it while i was home and coulnd't get it done so i brought them to japan with me but never got a chance to get them to a shop over here working form sun up to after sun down. if you can do this ...

ok so i am almost there already. i am just going to replace them with new bearings so that i know they are good. i mean the bike is almost 20 years old and never been apart before. DO THE PLASTIGAUGE DEAL! It's HOW IT IS DONE. You CANNOT just throw bearing shells at it and call it good. got the bea...

My cousin has a 05 R6. He lives in kind of a country part of town and had his bike in the car port behind the house under a dust cover because he had wrecked his other bike and broke his ankle about 3 weeks prior to this. I was home on leave he had called me to ask me to come help him with some stuf...

didnt get the rods and pins to the machine shop. the shop that i called and told them what i had and what i needed told me over the phone that they could do what i wanted. however when i got there and put them on the counter and said "i need this to fit this" the guy looks at me and says we cant do ...

they should be able to just pop out of the head correct?

If it works I have a set of rods I'd like to send you! Any decent automotive machine shop will have a rod hone. The one I used uses a rod hone that indexes off the big end so that the small end is perfectly aligned with it. And 'reads' the pin for sizing. They need to take approximatley .018" out r...

Dropping rods and pins off at the machine shop today going to be able to pick them up either later today or early tomorrow. Have everythingg with the rcxception of the engine case cleaned up and ready goto. Lots of pictures going to come up soon.
