Technical / CR250 Crank Rebuild?
« on: March 12, 2012, 04:14:06 AM »
I bought a nice, low-time 95' CR250 a couple years ago from the original owner that I've been slowly restoring into a McGrath tribute bike. The bottom end was tight and I had no intention of rebuilding it, but I had it apart for a new top end. I started re-assembly last night and found that even though the engine had been shrink-wrapped with clean rags in the cases for the past 2 years, the big-end bearing had rusted and is now binding. A couple questions;
1) Does anyone know where I can have the OE crank rebuilt with CARE? I don't want an aftermarket crank, and Honda wants a small fortune for a new one. I'm in Michigan, if that helps.
2) Since I'll have the cases apart, I'd like to have them cleaned up to look "factory" fresh...what's the process to restore cases to have that new, jeweled look to them?
Thanks.
