Thats quite an open ended quote isnt it.
That crank design started life in the pantah engines ... and must be in the f1, 906, 907, 851, 888.
Why have we never heard of the problem ?
Was it used _starting_ from a particular year too ? |
It happened to my '92 851 around 20k miles.
While the motor was being rebuilt by Baines Racing they had a '93 888 come in with the same prob,oddly with roughly the same milage on the clock.
