I'll drink the beer when this damn motor is finally together!! It's diet pepsi for now.
Boogered threads on the mainshaft? Hard to tell from this angle.
Threads are good.

Cases are sealed. If you look close you can see the gray Yamabond on the seams. No, not the gaskets....
Hey, this is fun!
Don't spoil it, Ray!!

Right side of case, 1 of 3 bolt holes has something brown in it. Thought it was a broken bolt.

Just a guess...crankshaft seal in backwards?
Edit: Tarbash posted while I was typing. I'm not a copy cat...honest.
DING!DING!DING! We have winners!!
If you look at the microfiche from Suzuki, it sure looks like I put it in right. But after hearing from Ray, I checked the one on my Skunk. Sure enough...backwards.
I thought I was going to have to split the cases again! But I was able to get it out. I drilled a small hole in it, then reamed the hole out with a screwdriver to make a bigger hole. Then I slowly clipped on it with some side cutters and eventually tore it out.New one on order. From searching some old posts, I should be able to drive a new one in.
Thanks for playing along!

I was going to guess that you didn't polish the inside of your cases well enough yet.

By the way, a current photo of that bike is in my sig, as son #2 bike.

When RapidRay called me, I didn't want to believe him! So I had to go out to the garage and pull the cover off the Skunk. And it was an instant "Ah, Schitt!!"
Look at part number 20. It faces just like I installed it.
I sure didn't want to pull those cases apart! I just hope I can get the new seal in.

I have faith in ya Bruce. You'll make it work, or bugger it up tryin HEHEHEHE. I have found a couple of small discrepencies like that in some of the parts fiches. The rear caliper assembly is a bit like that. The way THEY show it going together clearly doesnt work. but yet, there it is in black and white...lol

This was a fun read. I don't know what anybody is talking about (I mean besides the beer and the pot). If I were standing in the presence of the bike, and you showed me the piece that's backwards or whatever, I might be able to nod my head and grunt, but God help me if I had to put it together correctly.
