Awwww come on it is not that bad. More like 9 and 3 LOL.

Whats a parts blaster worth? Have a extra frame, 1 front hub w/arms, extra motor that I don't think is a blaster motor that the po sent with it, and misc brackets. Needs new crank, jug to include piston, and head. Runs and rides but after I have been in engine have noticed this stuff and...

Is about half and half. Pretty much equal slop top and bottom of the rod.

Any clue how long will run like this? Was running fine (but very lean) just tore down as had a leaky crank seal. While waiting for new seal and a pressure tester from awk I pulled the head just to take a look.

Whew. It came off pretty easy. Been there where you crank the hell out of the center bolt then whap the hell out of it with a big hammer.

Thanks all. I picked this bike up with the intent to flip for some profit. But a couple trips around the yard and the drive (1/4 mile) this little thing is a blast. Maybe where the name came from? LOL

My past experience with 2 strokes is they need new piston and rings quite frequently. From lurking here I see that is only the case if you don't do sh*t right. I wanna do sh*t right, LOL.

So should be safe Awk?

Will be using the torque wrench straight down so won't have to worry about conversion.

The correct torque is 20 ft lbs. My pretty decent quality torque wrench starts at 20 ft lbs. Think I am safe with that?

Ok just did some checking and see that the correct puller pulls from the center :-(. I hope I didn't f**k it up.

Not sure how I could have damaged it. Pulled it evenly from the 2 bolt holes provided.

I grew up taking u-joints apart and putting the needles in 1 at a time from other u-joints. Was pretty much make do with what you have. Now that I have lots more tools ect wonder how I used to get by. Still sit down and look and figure it out.

Had a puller that had 4 slots, 2 opposite and 2 at a angle. Not sure where it came from LOL. Just threaded 2 bolts into the flywheel, used the oil filter wrench to hold it and tightened the center bolt. Came right off :-)

Anybody else use a large oil filter wrench to hold mag? I have many as have heavy equipment and dump trucks. Worked great and I suppose would be cheaper to buy than the Yamaha tool.
