Engine damage, as it came to me, big end disintegrated

  Catastrophic crankpin failed on previous owner but kept riding till it cried enough...


Old vs new. This pin turned out to be wrong for the '81-on flywheels.


Cracked guide as a result of bent valve


Contents of frame mounted spin-on oil filter




Oil tank filter. This shows the spin-on filter became blocked and its' bypass valve opened


The two filters


Rear chain was a large O-ring style and was rubbing inner primary.


Both cylinders were standard but cracked and damaged.
