Wrecked my bike a few years ago, ended up busting the engine case/oil pan, etc. Bought another engine and swapped it out though kept the old (wrecked) engine hoping to one day take everything out and swap it into a new case. Everything is still in surprisingly good shape, not even the clutch basket got tweaked. It hit just around the timing cap area.

But yeah. Just started the process of disassembling this wrecked one after it's been sitting for so long, just slowly taking everything out and putting it all in labelled bags, etc.

I'm down to the crank and transmission at the moment. Have yet to remove the pistons or any of the connecting rods.

Was just curious -- Are the connecting rod bearings re-usable? Or even the crank bearings? (the 1/8"ish half-moon looking things -- not those standard ball bearings.) The new (well, used) engine case still has all of those in there and I've still got the ones in the wrecked case as well.

Kudos in advance!

 

@ProoN Here's a great video to help with that process. You really need to know what the clearances are.

 

Jesus, this video is perfect. Thank you!
