yea the rod in the motor is chewed up on the very end, the crankcase is pitted and the rod was rubbing.(there is a lot of metal pieces scattered throughout this motor) the rear bearing is also pretty rough!! i think i will get a new motor.. i found one for 75 bucks shipped.. i do custom powdercoating so i may powdercoat the spare head and maybe crankcase.. might also play with doing some porting on the crankcase(the old one of course).. the lube on the one way bearing sounds like a good idea!! i just didn't know if it would make the pullstart slip with the grease on it.. i will try that too.. thanks for the input guys!
