Help. VT250 has water in oil?

[actungbaby]

you can turn the crank and hear it clonk and feel the top front piston the moment in the con rod on front cylinder no need for micrometters here boys

omg i reached in and moved the end of con rod on left one and you can see rock
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

Find another engine would be your best bet if you have heavy bottom end wear, so many "might as wells" and I´m guessing its probably a bit out of your abilities at the moment.

They are a very well designed engine, no-one managed to make a 4 stroke twin that out performed them I quite like the VT250 models and it sucks to see a potentially great little machine ruined.

[actungbaby]

your right there i think honda make best small engines esp in four strokes beacuse been doing it alot longer
its been in production and is still , athough my main reason brought it
was always bike i was intrested in

yeah no way can afford 1200 for another engine i think try get cbr 600
or cbr 900 insteed

You should be able to get an engine a whole lot cheaper than that. I did a ZZR400 to ZZR600 conversion and the engine/carbs cost me $400 in total with a near complete spare bike.

[actungbaby]

well in that case if i find motor for that price i be wraped thanks dude
i was just wondering though these conversions it wont be quite the same for me
as be same type of engine but do you have to have it checked certified again
if engine not same number as the orginal , just asking as always wondered
seems alot things changed in last decade
in 80sd seems you chould do anything you wanted

Cert won't be needed, i don't have to cert my 600 even though it was a 400, unless they can check the engine number. You have to take half the bike apart to do that

[actungbaby]

cool i did wonder good on ya mate good kiwi can do attitude

[actungbaby]

theres one on trademe right age i think diffrent numbers though just
really case me having money and working out to take risk again
as dont want spend more money to have same sort mess really
i posted on tradme forum in motoring and guy said he put one on there in few days
it just needs to be good bottom end good bores , am not sure heads on this orginal motor but likey as rest is crap the heads will be too.
so really i need a good working engine, as i think it bores are worn there not worth
the cost of getting recon etc , like one tradme me he says doesint smoke and runs
but has top end rattles so am going mmmm i dunno, but what can you do you
just got hope people being honest really , i was told the orginal motor had run and then stoped after he cleaned carbs but looking at hard to belive it run at all
it whould sounded like a dissel amount knocking it makes just be turning by hand
aghhhh

Top end rattles on one will be the cam chain and tensioner, not too hard to do and well worth doing to one anyway. The tensioner oil hole needs to be enlarged, a tiny wee bit, with a dremel or something of the sort. The hole is the main cause of rattles in them. My VT250 Spada had ugly rattles by 50,000km, I did the tensioners/chains and it started getting a wee bit of chain noise at 150,000km. Not bad if you ask me.
