try sitting the jack up they don t work laying down have fun personly i would get a new one

In all seriousness, most would cough up for a new rod kit for piece of mind.

What can do however, is fix that big end yourself as best you can, throw it all back together and put an ad on ebay for it.
Buy yourself a new CRF and make a few cash offerings at your local religious establishment of your choice to pay off the bad karma.

A hydraulic jack will work on its side you just need the pump/piston at the lowest point so it keeps getting oil fed to it. man that looks scary hope it works out

pay no attention to these peanuts?????

what you need is,

1. 75mil,, inch and a half hardened steel die.

2. A device you can use to provide several short sharp blows with.(ensure this is made of steel)

3.a length of rope,,preferably synthetic and about 8 mil thick.

4. some form of heat source,,hotter the better,,not something like Peps hair dryer,or Aarons curling wand.

1.Place the section of the engine that requires pressing apart on the floor in a clear and ventilated area.

2. heat the section of the engine that requires pressing apart to a tempreture of aprox 150 to 170 degree c.

3. Place the die on the part to be struck.

4. Using the striking tool give that sucker several good hard whacks.it is important to continue doing this as it may be the next whack that loosens the part.

5. Using the 8 mil synthetic rope (and waiting until the engine part cools down) tie it to a section of the engine that required pressing apart , and ensure you use a real good and reliable knot.

6. The end result should be,,,you have just made a pretty darn flash boat anchor,,,now go and buy a new one …it will save you a shirt load of grief.

Boony

Glad to help.

You actually had me goin for a sec there boony..l was thinkin that u were smart re thinkin that u are…replace the bloody thing tight arses

[GregMember]

Wow that press for a crank on the dirty floor, I said to Mick that has to be tool of the year if it wasnt for Boony :laugh: Honestly Dickie spend the money and have a crank kit put in professionally or buy a crank like cycle tune said. You won’t be able to get it lined up on the floor with that abortion of a home made press :cheer: I reckon your engineering is worth it’s weight in gold and top marks for thought and effort. At 9000 rpm it will need to be balanced just right, after all it’s not a TA20 Massey ferguson tractor :laugh:

I have moved this thread out of the tech section because well a few reasons one I couldn’t help myself, some of the posts while not being tech fit for the tech section were gold :cheer:

Go luck with it Dickie
