Ahh the highs and lows of owning a datto. Today is a low :( Took the ol
1200 for a spin up to the fuel station to fill her up and on the way back i
gave it a squirt around a corner. 1st was smokin up pretty hard and 2nd
never came around. Missed the gear and revved the crap out of the A14.
Rolled to a stop only to hear a knocking noise from under the hood. Oh shit
here we go!! Got out and had a look and nothing noticbly wrong except a big
ass knock. So a crawled home with the engine still running well. There was
no missing or other noises just a knock. I pulled the rocker cover off to
check the pushrods, rocker arms, vlaves and valve springs and everything
looked spot on. I went to turn it over with a shifter on the crank nut (or
whatever u call it) and it was loose as a goose. I turned the crank over
and it feels like the crank is sorta loose. Could be the main bearings??
Time for a bottom end rebuild i think! Just wasnt expecting to do it this
soon!! Any ideas people??
