Found more large shards of metal stuck to the magneto today when opening the crankcase. My mate reckons the big end bearings have gone, I still have no idea lol. On a brighter note I got the replacement engine fitted and running today. Just need to finish putting the bike back together tomorrow and replace the plastic air pressure sensor for the vacuum pipe as I broke it putting the engine back in the frame. >. < Lucky I found one for �15 on fleabay as Fowlers want �113 + vat for it new! Will strip the bottom end on the old engine when I have the time and a flywheel puller.
