cr500 engine upgrade questions
Posted: March 25th, 2011, 11:52 pm
I have a 1986 CR500 that i am currently rebuilding.
I have managed to get a new 2001 clutch casing to upgrade that so changing the clutch will be easier.
The crank need sorting as there is a lot of play but i am having a hard time sourcing a conrod for the 1986 engine as it is shorter.
My question is if i were to buy the later cyclinder could i fit the later conrod and piston to my crank?
Also is it possible now i have the later clutch cover to upgrade my clutch to the wider type in the later engines?
Any other recommendation would be welcome.
