Hi folks,
I am about to assemble my 750 motor when I noticed the rod is scored. It’s not deep, probably only about 10 thou deep.
Can the rod be used as is, should I polish it out or throw the rod at the cat next door that uses my backyard for a toilet?
The bike had new pistons, rings and a bore when I got it, although someone had left it out in the elements without spark plugs in! All wasted.
My assumption is the score was the result of a previous unexpected explosion in the engine.
I can’t get a real good photo with my camera but you get the idea.
Thanks
