Keith, how close are you to Charlie? Sounds like somebody needs to look at
it who has a little more experience.

| Bottom end has never been apart, bike sat for a long time, so maybe there is sludge. I'll pull the oil pan and check things out. What should I look for? How do you know if the bearings are bad? I just looked in the Chilton manual I have (it's an old early 70's vintage book) and I can't tell what the bearings look like, unless they are the "shells" they speak about, or do these shells go around the bearing? How do you get the bearings out? Are we talking total engine disassembly here or can this be done working from under the bike with the oil pan off? I do see in the book the little oil holes on the arms, is that the ones that can clog and starve the bearings of oil? If they are clogged how can they be unplugged while in the motor, or again, does this require engine disassembly? Anybody up for a road trip to NJ??????????? Keith Fred Sahms wrote:
