Hey Tom,
Sorry to hear about your engine. I think I can hear a little rod slap in my
Eldo. I'll be taking it apart in the next couple of weeks to inspect.
If you need anything, let me know.
I talked to BJ yesterday, and he's coming to Vegas at the end of the month
for the giant bike auction. Why don't you come over? You know you have a
place to stay.

I have a sad story to tell. A local guy here spun a bearing in his eldo engine and I helped him remove the engine and then get the crank sent off for repairs. He kept eying a spare engine that I have and asked to buy it. "NO, it's my spare". Well, after alot of begging, I finally relented and let him use the motor(and tranny) A couple days ago he called and asked how much oil the crankcase holds, cause he just put in 3quarts and it was about to flow out the top of the fill hole. I told him 3quarts, but it should have oil already. Well, he drained out 3qts of oil but never checked the level. We finished putting the bike together yesterday and after some adjustments got it going really nicely. So we start home. About two miles down the road, the engine starts banging. He shuts it down and coasts to a stop. The header pipes are black. Engine hot as hell. I check the oil...none... Just a damn shame....Makes me sick...
