I tore down my second engine today, pretty familiar now with all the bits and pieces. The reason for the rebhild was low compression and a slipping kickstart.
No real surprises until i split the case. First, in the bottom of the pan was a tooth, kickstart pinion gear. Kind of figured that one.
Mainshaft looked rough as well as the big gear on the countershaft. When i pilled that transmission, the bearings came along too!
1. Is the mainshaft supposed to have sharp teeth on it or a flat ridge?
2. Should i just get a new countershaft and not try to pull the bearings? I dont have a three jaw puller.
3. Lower part of rod at crankshaft .0165 on one side, .018 on the other. Should i source a replacement?
Im keeping this motor stock displacement.
And here are some pictures.
