    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    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.

Valves got louder then BAM!

does whats left of the rod move freely on the crank?
very odd, catastrophic failures like this are practically unheard of.

you get the odd twisted crank with a hot rodded 1100 (why racers and Suzuki started welding them) but I can't remember ever hearing about a broke rod.

realy bad luck.
 
Well aren't you guys testy today... I think it's a perfectly legitimate question. The chunk that's missing serves no real purpose that I can see. :-\"

Yeah, it moved freely. In fact, it moved so freely I could grab the top and lift it off the crank 1cm before the bottom touched. :D
 
im willing to bet that broken rod slamming around in there did enough damage to the crank and crank bearings that your not going to want to trust it in the future


i say buy a new engine and part yours out. sell what you can and keep the broken bits for memories!!!

dont trust that crank or case though. just my opinion
