What was wrong with your old engine?


The old engine spun a rod bearing in december.. so my friend and i rebuilt it, but didn't machine the crank or put oversized bearings in... well a few weeks ago, the engine just died again.. so we are thinking those bearings didn't sit right.

so I just went with a remanufactured one so its a new engine with a 3 year 100,000 mile warrenty.
