I have an 83 650 that I got from the wife's uncle (who got at a Detroit
police auction). I fixed it up and got about 1.5 seasons but then it
developed what I think is a rod knock.
It also has the usual cam chain noise, plus a noisy 5th gear (hums) and a
split oil passage where the oil pipe feeds into the head. I've tried fixing
the latter but with no luck.
Given these issues...
...the question is - should I fix it or sell it?
I don't see any decent engines for the 83-85 on eBay - just this one which
may be sketchy:

I'm outside Milwaukee, WI.
I've rebuild car engines before; top and bottom end, but not motorcycle. I
should already have most the tools needed - ring spring compressors,
torque wrenches, etc.
I think at this point I would rather get a replacement engine/trans or a
parts bike rather than rebuild this one.
Thoughts?
