Last year I had the skirt brake off the pull start side piston. The motor locked up almost instantly. But not before dammaging the head and cylinder( not 100% sure on crank damage yet).
So far i have gotten my hands on another empty motor case for a new cylinder and a possible bottom end. I do not know yet on how much the build will cost in tottal, but had a few question on what way i should go about my build.
1:To rebuild or but a hole other running motor and just do the swap. my problem with this is the cost. For what a good reliable motor costs i could be an ok condition complet sled. Another bad thing about buying a motor/sled is i have something someone elese built and dont fully know the build and relyabuility of the builder/owner.
2:Building the motor to be reliable for the best price i can without skimping and buying crapy parts or labor. I have called SLP and i know i will costly(given there is damage to the crank, case, or bearings).
But when looking for parts and pices i have see some prebuilt bottom ends for ok prices by reputibal places. And one of my questions to the forum is about the bottom end on the motor. Are the 600, 700 and 800 bottome ends all the same in thoues years and are the interchangabl?
And finally any other information anyone can give me on building the motor, buying parts, or machine shops to go to would be really helpfull. also anyone with ued parts would be nice to.
