Hello all
I have dismantled the old A10 engine because I feared a line near the crankcase mouth to be a crack. It turned out to be a superficial scratch... Better safe than sorry they say. But now I'm there, I decided to check on things in general, and the only thing amiss seems to be a wobbly big end on the timing side. It has no radial play, but will wiggle when wiggled. The drive side big end moves smoothly a bit along the journal, but only in a straight line, whereas the timing side one can be waved a bit when stationary. I would imagine that this is not good? I have not taken the rod off yet, but what do you folks think; will I be likely to get away with just replacing the shells?
