Added work/cost to split the case?
Ok, this is an offshoot of the other thread, just trying to get info...
Most every thread I see says not to split the case if you aren't having issues... Sounds like great advice. Some threads say its stupid not to look, as you are 80% of the way there.
Now, if you want to split the case to examine everything, just to make sure its ok, and then ASSUMING its all fine... what are we looking at?
If the main bearings are fine, and the crank is fine, is there any machining involved? Or, do you just button it back up?
If it all looks fine, do you still spend time to polish the crank, or just leave it alone?
If it all looks fine, any point in putting in new main bearings? These seem pretty cheap...
I think the security of knowing it all looks great would be peace of mind. But if it racks up a huge machine shop bill and parts bill, when there are no apparent problems, then what's the point...
Seems like with the rod bearings, if you play with those then even if they "were" fine you have now committed to machine shop work. Is examining the crank bearings the same?
Thanks
