    I’m not going near it. I’ll just part it out.  I havn’t opened up the intake/crank Chambers yet but I’m fairly sure there’s going to be some damage there too from those needle bearings.  Things are pretty tight tolerance and needle-bearing it’s got to be at least 1/8 of an inch.

    Furthermore the crankshaft can’t possibly be in very good shape after those needle bearings squeak their way out?
