Hiya guys
did bit more on engin today. Fitted new big end bearings. And piston rings with new hone. After building back up it took allot of effort to turn engin over with ratchet on pulley. No head on yet so no compresion. So i narrowed it down to big end bearings being tight so have fit new set. Its a hell of allot better now but i did strip it down again as i mistakingly put oil on both sides of shell bearings. Hopfully thers a pic with this post of the new bearings and how one has started bedding in but only on one side? Should i be worryed or is this just how they bed in. Hopfully some one has more experiance than me thank you
