thanks mate. i have come to the conclusion that this motors big end has a problem, i heard tell that i may be able to get a replacement for 400 dollars. pray tell where norm. the parts for this are quite pricy but the time involved to pull it apart to find the source of the problem is another thing. I am trying to help this fella. for free. yes i know it is not the flashest machine but he seems to love it??
thanks all
Sean
