If you were taking most of the recommendations offered then it didn't come across well; You didn't appear to be listening, just dismissing or ignoring suggestions. <snip>

But do try not to take it too personally, I'm just a major dick sometimes... and sometimes I'm a colossal asshole (I answer to either). There's no need for you to leave, just maybe accept the possibility that there might be some old wisdom here that's worth listening to with a more welcoming attitude... Much of it's worked well for over 20 years with these engines.

EDIT: I still probably sounded like a dick there ^^^... not entirely the idea. Also, when you have it apart this time, don't forget to flush the oil cooler circuit... You said you didn't after the blockage incident.

I wasn't blowing off any suggestions just answering them. when asked if the crank was straight Yes it was checked and yes it was straight. Same with the block etc. Im not sure what CV means but i'm guessing its when I explained my instructors credentials?? If thats what it was i was explaining why I trust what i was taught. I mentioned being an engine builder to cut out unnecessary explanations or having obvious questions asked not to show off. Its kool though I didn't take it too personally just gets under my skin when people assume crap over the internet. If i wanted to just blow off all the suggestions I wouldn't have asked in the first place...


just fyi after typing out that i may have check one rod twice I realized I still have the rods from the engine that I didnt use. I looked at them closely and realized one of the caps had a G on it...... I put that on the rods i wanted to use and only wrote it on 6 rods -__- so I installed a known bad rod........ explains alot but all the other crap didnt help either I'm hating myself quite a bit right now. I guess I shouldve paid better attention and slowed down. oh well though you win some and you lose some looks like i lost this time. sending everything out to be machined monday. then onto making some cash for a new cooler setup and oilpump. looks like the moped will be getting alot of use for the next few weeks /:

Sorry, it came off to me as bravado... probably because you get so much of that here and in the automotive industry in general. It's not going to bother me any further. I just call them as I see them (and in the case of internet misinterpretations, apologize 30 minutes later ).

CV = curriculum vitae; In essence a resume.

Don't discount the obvious things... those are usually what we find we've missed.

no hard feelings. I feel like a moron I can't believe I overlooked the fact I put in the wrong rod when I was in the engine 3 times -__- hopefully the crank is servicable and I can just put all this behind me. on another note it finally gives the old moped some run time and attention its getting "JDMED" out on friday lowered stretched and de-plastic it haha cant be normal ever

Dude, it happens to the best of us The important thing is to realize our mistakes and not repeat them. Do not hate yourself and please excuse my "teasing". Look at this as a "learning experience".

glad you found the problem! hopefully you can get it back together quick and up/running again. if you need another crank, ive got two 6m's that are good, one i just had polished the other day (it has been heat treated on the main and rods). the second is bone stock and needs a polish.

good luck with it, and if you need parts, lemme know
