couldn't pass up that offer, also i have a P/S/R in the mail as well as ceramic bearings. can't wait to start her up.
throw in a new rod and put a few more gallons through it,then rebuild. I have a 7 port with 12 gallons through it and have only replaced the rod 3 times[1st rod after 2 gallons,then every5 just cuz] the bearings in these engines last a very long time. ofcourse I use after run oil and preheat before I fire mine up. also save up and get the new gx-r crank when you rebuild.imo
