    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Oil Pressure Loss

I'm sure that the wrist pin dia is different. I think the 1150 had 20mm pins and the 1100 had 18mm. Seems strange that the rod went out and your head was galled as well. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the rods just splashed lubricated. The motor wasn't low on oil was it? Mike J

Yeah, that sounds right, I think the primary gears were different too, something about needing the 1100 clutch basket with the 1100 crank.

Mains and rods are pressure fed, not splash fed they would only last about 1,000 miles if splash fed due to the lack of slots on the big end on the rods, you can do it on a two stroke because the fuel mixture is compressed in the crank case. and is a very fine mist

Re: oil

That makes sense one way and then again, it doesnt. Why would you make two versions of the same basic engine and make one with oiling slots and one without?

Well not 100% here but I don't think the rods or the mains are pressure fed. If so you would have oil holes in the bearing races to feed it. I know that any plain bearing crank has to be pressure fed but not a roller bearing one. I have a set of GS1150 cases in my shop, I will check tonight when I get in. Mike J
