Time for a update....

Sorry its bean a while but not had much time lately, As said before swingarm bolt was siezed so ended up cutting out to free frame and then cut swing arm to free from engine.

As you can see in the pics ,

Front cylinder shells have some damage but compared to rear cylinder look good , Rear is mullerd to hell crank is also worn quite badly so new engine needed rest ok so will sell of bits to help pay for engine and swing arm

Hello HUNT749

looks about the same as mine did after the stip down.
just another thought it is possible with this type of damage
the con rods will be shot too,

but I understand you can get them machined depending on damage,
or pick up a good set on ebay if thats the route you wish to take.

good luck

Hello topitoo,

I also think that the rods are shot as the surfaces are worn away quite badly . Was thinking about getting them machined but not sure yet on what to .
I know its a long shot but whats the difference in length between 748 and 916 conrods saw a crank and conrod assembly on fleabay and wondered ????

If you want to keep it as a 748 I have a good spare engine, freshly serviced, with oil cooler if you want it. Lmk

[HUNT749]

yes would like to keep it as a 748 , whats the history on engine as in age ,mileage etc and of course money required

just realised also 916 conrod and crank assembly wouldnt fit as stroke different isnt it!!
