Help. VT250 has water in oil?

Would seem so. Of course, the question is...what is his mother tongue? IlliterateArrogantMoron?

That is open to speculation ... and could be the start of a whole new thread ...

Maybe English is his second language - how many can you all speak/write?

I've noticed good threads go for 2/3 of there total length before they cave in and die the rest about 1/4.

Pity really I was interested how the engine was going to turn out.


actungbaby, just carry on. Criticism is just like a bend in the road in this place....get your lines right, pass through it then your set up for the next one.

Hi mate,

Place a large magnet on the cylinder top and with fine grade metal powder you'll see if it's cracked anywhere as it will show.

Magnetic particle inspection only works on ferrous alloys. It relies on making a N and S pole across the crack. Since alloy heads are not magnetic this will not work.

where do you place the magnet in relation the the suspected crack on ferrous metals?

I've never seen it done before so I was thinking I could play around checking for cracks in an old frame before its painted.

Across the area you want to crack test.

Cheers, I found a vid on youtube.

hi people sorry about me loosing the plot
well quick update , after longish break trying fix xbox 360
I checked one conrod and moves quite bit side to side not good
So am going take the engine apart , just need some help
does anyone know if the fly wheel bolt is right or left thread i thought it
have to be oposite to way thing spins for safety . and dont want break it trying to undo wrong way .

overall the engine is easy to take apart damm dispointed that seems pretty knacked though looks like paid 600 for chassis and wheels

I cannot remember which way the flywheel bolt goes and my VT250 owners manual is on another computer
Chances are, it's a normal threaded bolt and may have a locking bolt in it too, but, try down load a manual for it and you'll be fine.

As for one rod moving like that, have you taken the rod off? It shouldn't move side to side.
Both rods should be on one single crank pin, side by side.

Thanks so much again your replys always learn from them
yes i think they are side by side , and that was without undoing anything
so that why i know i got strip it down more, no use puting back toghter like that
i doubt it run and if it did it probley blow up or make some nasty sounds
i actaully pushed on piston and it clonked and moved

be cool to get copy of the manuall i tryed looking on the net and found nothing
i tryed buy one also with no luck .
for me getting fly wheels of is like mission imposible with no fly wheel puller
but always managed last one on xr 200 engine fell of bench and put hole in crank case but managed to get it welded and fixed aghhhh
i used car jack and wire wraped around to tension it

i been offered a second hand crank so assume i need at least one new connecting rod as well if not two , i think the boring that is expensive on these motors
being cast as one piece , but just see howe it goes before making a descion
as is i get some enjoyment from taking it apart, maybe neraly many hours as good ps3 game ;-(
thanks
mate

I'd try find another motor, the machining on it alone would cost more than it's worth

thanks got that one was really cool esp about the general stuff like choke

back forth like 3 mm and make clonking sound that is stuffed must broken bearing shells no wonder found bits metal in the sump
this is in direction for the piston so wonder it didnt snap of compelty
under the pressure of the combustion forces shhhh
damm is it running old oil does this sort damage dam
