Advice needed for complete engine rebuild
Posted: 11:21 pm Oct 17 2012
Nothing even remotely bad happened to my 93 KDX200. I bought it used, it still pulls wheelies in third but...I want it gone over this winter.
WHY you say?
1. I bought it used.
2. I love my KDX.
3. I have more money than time, to an extent.
4. Because.
I busted out the back of the left case, behind the kickstarter shaft. Guess how...time's up. I was trying to get the *(&$%&*(# swingarm shaft out. Double tap when the swingarm shaft busted loose took my MAC 3lb hammer over the the kickstarter shaft. FAWK!. The magic part is I had a buddy of mine TIG it up. He REALLY wasn't happy about the oil in the metal, but we made it happen. Well, HE welded it up, and I RTV the hell out of it. It works fine, enough said.
Who can go over the whole engine? I have a case set and all seals and gaskets. Looking for someone that knows KDX engines. Is keeping this under $1k realistic?
