I have an engine tore apart for a rebuild. Previous owner had oil line brake Was not run much after .?? I am new to posting on a forum I tried once before receiced no replies it was for a different forum. I am sure I did something wrong or don't know where to see the replies. I am 71 years young and not that savvy . That said I have this motor tore apart completely and the case separated ( just a note I can rebuild and any car engine made.. but. new to ATV motors). the only thing I have found bad is the rod end where the wrist/piston pin attaches to the piston . It was galled so bad I had a lot of trouble removing it ..The motor is not locked up but there is no way to check the rod bearings as they are attached to the crank. There lies my Problem somewhat . I have tried to purchase a rebuild kit for a 2000 Honda TRX400FW Forman and They DO NOT Exist as for as I can tell. Please someone direct me to where I can get the crank and rod I even Tried e-bay knowing I could get had!! but there is not one to be found. if I don't find what I need all I have is a pile of junk.. I would like to get this fixed Any Help Appreciated. Thank you in advance for any help ( If someone on this forum has one I Will buy it !
