A friend of mine has a 1.7 MHA engine that he was planning to put into a westfield (or the like)
When we last had it running it sounded like it had the begining of big end knocking. The loud rattle from the bottem end at 2.5-3k rpm.
I had heard that the bottem end was supposed to be weak on these. Is it the mains or the big ends that give the trouble?
Is it worth putting a new set of bearings in or will the crank be fuggered?
