Reply To: Metal Shards and Shavings in crankcase, not sure where from 2006 GT650 Carb
Hey Marcel,
Sorry for such a late reply but I went ahead and checked out the things you mentioned and I have no idea how I didn’t notice it before since I know I spun the connecting rods around multiple times, but the connecting rod that goes to the rear cylinder definitely has an eviscerated bearing. Doesn’t spin freely, will actually get stuck hanging sometimes, and makes a very loud and clear grinding sound when spun around the crankshaft.
The right side crankshaft bearing that sits inside the crankcase is also getting stuck randomly. I can apply a little force and it gets past its obstacle, but I’ll go ahead and replace it anyway since I am here.
I already ordered a used crankshaft and crankshaft case bearing but since this is my first time disassembling and reassembling an engine of any kind, well see how this goes lmao.
I did want to ask if you know of anywhere to buy parts for the gt650 since I need replacement crankcase screws (like the ones securing the oil pump and the shifter assembly on the clutch side) and cant find them anywhere.
