It where the two pistons come together in the case. Where they rotate beside each other. Well, mine don't rotate or move, They are stuck in a 45 deg angle. The bearing took a dump and now they are one.   Cycleaddict Posted on Monday, January 22, 2007 - 10:56 pm:        i think thats called the rod/crankshaft bearing (s)   Black_sunshine Posted on Monday, January 22, 2007 - 10:57 pm:        yeah, that sounds more like it. I couldn't remember.   Jwhite601 Posted on Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 12:42 am:        you should check the oil pump and make sure its ok, I have a suspicion that the oil pump may have failed causing your "piston bearings" to "freeze". At least pull it and check the drive gears.

Please don't slam me if there aren't any in a V-twin crank. I'm only speaking from experience with a 550hp Chevy 358ci welding a rod to the crank at 90mph in our IMCA Mod. Amazing how a tiny piece of dirt can turn an engine into scrap iron and aluminum gravel. BTW...that is a GREAT looking bike! Bring it back to life!   Sgthigg Posted on Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 12:43 pm:        How many miles did she have on her?   Gentleman_jon Posted on Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 01:57 pm:        Hey Will, Really sorry to hear that your motor grenaded. SH*t happens. I hope you don't think that a little snag like that is any excuse for not showing up for MB IV in your pink hat!! It might not seem like it now, but leaving your old ride behind might not be a bad thing after all. I never would have found Lil Blackie if I didn't realize that it was time to say good bye to Ol' Yaller. Life moves on. We must follow. A door closes. A door opens. Savy ?   Black_sunshine Posted on Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 04:26 pm:        GJ....me ..be at MBIV....does a 1 legged duck swim in a circle? You bet your azz it does!   Stealthxb Posted on Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 07:44 pm:        Sgthigg... I think he had about 15K on it. Just a little more than I had when mine grenaded.   Cmm213 Posted on Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 09:58 pm:        Tough luck man, hope you can get it going before spring   Cmm213 Posted on Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 10:10 pm:        Hope no one gets at me for asking but if no one buys it as a whole- are you at all thinking about parting it out?   Black_sunshine Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 08:50 am:        Yes.   Cmm213 Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 05:08 pm:        If you part it out I would like your black body plastic. I would like to dump my yellow setup also. Good luck with everything.   Black_sunshine Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 09:59 pm:        I have a few takers for the whole thing. If that doesn't work out then I will let you know.
