Rebuild help,spliting cases...

[oddy]

i just split my cases and found out my crank and rod are poop and a few other little pieces that need to be replaced...was wondering if i could get any tips...im thinking about just buying a hotrod crank since i see them on ebay new for like 200....and the oem crank is just as expensive if not more...i just cleaned both cases in the parts washer and now i think i gotta figure out what im goin to do about the lower end of the engine

Might try these guys:

http://vincescycle.tripod.com/newparts/war.html

I have no personal experience with either, maybe someone has and can chime in.

i wouldnt attempt to rebuild the crank myself. The counter weights need to be aligned so theres no vibration and so it doesnt start throwing parts out. I think the tolerences are pretty close and from what i understand it takes a lot to get everything rebuilt correctly. I just took my cases apart to have the crank rebuilt and with a hot rods rod it is going to be around 160 plus tax to get it rebuilt at a local yamaha dealer.
