Hello, Your crankshaft appears to be fine, the other commenters are correct. Lateral play doesn't matter, ANY vertical play in that bearing (and I absolutely mean ANY), send the crank out to get rebuilt. The reason the lateral play doesn't matter is once the cylinder is on, the piston can only move vertically, which takes the lateral play out of the equation. Really enjoy your videos.
Thanks! It means a lot when guys I trust comment and leave me some knowledge and/or advice. Love your channel. Since I'm a jet ski guy, I loved your clapped out jet ski videos, but my favorite has to be the Goldwing restoration.
Side to side play as normal up-and-down play if any is not normal. Looks like you are good. I would clean everything up real good. Put new crank seals in it seal everything up pressure test the engine and should be good to go.
@@papadonjetski9535 do you enjoy working on these things? I am in Alabama and I am one of the only people in my area that will work on these older two strokes.
Been meaning to get on here and thank you for letting me know the crank is good. I sat up to midnight the day your video dropped on the Ford engine tear down. I wish somehow rebuilding jet ski engines translated over to rebuilding car engines! Congrats on the courage to that job yourself. I'll be watching that outcome and waiting on some Seadoo boat videos.
@@papadonjetski9535 I feel it does kinda translate. Attention to the details is the same. Not sure it’s courage.. LOL maybe more ignorance is bliss. 😂 the Mustang has been a way bigger undertaking than what I had first thought. I’m gonna know every bolt in that car when I’m done.
I think the scuffing on the piston sides might be due to not being warmed up fully before high speed use. Not sure though. "Cold seizure" it may be called? Doesn't look nearly as bad as some I've seen. 2 Strokes are very temperature sensitive. Usually on the exhaust side of the piston if it cold seizure. Hot expanding piston and a cold water-bathed cylinder. I may not be correct on this. Just something I heard about in places with colder water.
I believe the problem was the water pressure regulator mounted on the water box. It was not allowing enough water into the engine for cooling purposes and so it was over heating.
Hello, you must be fine. I visited your channel and analyzed some videos. Your video quality is very good but your channel is not SEO done Properly, due to which channel growth is very low. Also, your video is not SEO done with rank tag SEO score is poor. In short, SEO optimizes your channel properly, and every video needs to be SEO which will promote your channel and double the video views

Your crank is prob fine, side to side play is fine you don’t want any up and down play

Thats my plan. Thanks

My understanding on the rod play is, side to side is normal, up and down play is bad. But I may be wrong.

I'll look into that.
The hole between the 2 halves isn't the matting surface mine has the same hole
What ended up being the problem??
I believe the problem was the water pressure regulator mounted on the water box. It was not allowing enough water into the engine for cooling purposes and so it was over heating.
Do you have a email
I have a 1992 XP that is not turning on at all.
