the main problem is that even if i change the crankshaft i am not sure if the engine will work ok. i have run about 6ltrs of fuel. how often should someone change the rod?
I suggest buy new engine.
Change conrod every 2 gallons and/or everytime you replace p/s/r
Next time when you put the flywheel, always use proper tools. You tighten the flywheel locknut hard enough
but not too hard. Use oil lubricants to collette, flywheel, and flywheel locknut's threads. The lubricants aid the tightening process. It won't slip during use, trust me !!
