I'm pretty sure I'll need a replacement rod. The other three seem to spin effortlessly. And I need to find a machine shop that's not 6 months backlogged to tank the motor (and the heads too?) and inspect the crank. If you can hook me up with a free rod, that would rock!
Hey Mike, a question about heads: are the buckets specific to the valves? I didn't realize they would just slide out if I turned the head over with the cams removed, and the buckets got all mixed up... that's when I noticed they're individually numbered.
Do I need to do some measuring or something to figure out which ones go where? And should I have them cleaned/inspected after a rod bearing failure, or should they be alright? I didn't see any debris in them from the bearing like I saw in the bottom end.
