Not sure if this has been mentioned as I havnt read all the replies, have you checked for piston slap, the way to check it is with the engine running, pull off one ht lead at a time and if the noise stops that is the cylinder that is slapping. The "slap" occures when the piston is out of shape, when it fires at TDC the piston changes direction, as this happens the skirt slaps against the bore, if you pull off the lead it doesnt fire therefore doesnt slap, if you have the engine torn down check the piston skirts at the bottom at 90 degrees to the gudgeon pin, if you have one different to the rest that is probably the cause.

Just a quick update for any1 that may be interested..

Got my crank back today all repaired, cost me $200 to have 5 teeth fixed by Mike Jones Gears, way cheaper than the $980 it was going to cost for a new crank and now I dont need to buy new bearings either.....So I guess I have a busy weekend ahead of me

Should be back carving up GSXR's in no time

Good to hear mate. Pity the weekend is forecast as shite
