WTB k75 engine.
« on: July 10, 2023, 07:20:54 PM »
Have no clue how I found some metal flakes in the oil…. So I’m putting a wanted ad. Looking for a engine that is basically a short block. But will entertain to a full block.

Thanks.

Have no clue . . .
Consider draining the oil, removing the oil pan and taking a look, if you haven't already.

I have. Along with taking the valve cover off.
Some are shiny and some look worn/burnt.

I flushed the metal out with some sea foam and another oil change.. but I think I am just looking for another motor. Pinwall on eBay has one for $154 complete. Thought I found one on Facebook marketplace. Ended up being a k100. Don’t really think that swapping everything over would work? I know that I need everything but the twisted frame. But unsure if it’s would even bolt in making it a 4cly

The K100 engine is one cylinder too long for your moto's frame.
