I just wanted to thank rubbersdown for the write up on the engine rebuild. http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=449203 I've discovered a bad rod bearings and decided to replace the crankshaft. I followed the post of rubbersdown step by step and was able to split the cases and replace the crank. I replaced the main bearings, timing chain with a new one from a CRF450. I will also replace the timing chain tensioner and have the piston bored to 4 overr.
Without the writeup I doubt I would have repaired the quad. I studied the writeup rubbersdown did and felt as though I could handle this. What I found is splitting the cases was not nearly as difficult as I expected.
Once again thanks for taking the time to document splitting the cases. I really appreciated it.
