Pulled the motor today. Problem found...3 of 6 flywheel bolts had snapped in half. I guess that's what was making the clunking noise!

I would be questioning the amount of rev's the Pinto had before it broke.
Good luck with that one Juiceman.

Me too, but it was my brother driving it when it happened so I can't be sure of anything [}:)] Thanks Mark, have fun getting the RS back on the road!

Looks like your going out in sympathy.

Is the brother helping you fix it? that might be his last drive if he hasn't helped out
Just remind him of the bullship crapola your going through now when he wants the keys next time.

Hahaha yeah he's helping me. He's letting me use his XR6 turrrbo ute to cart the motor over to the reconditioners tomorrow to have the snapped bolts pulled out and he helped me yank the motor yesterday and will help me put it back in. But still, he's not getting the keys anytime soon [88]

Hey Josh... the motor must go ok to do that

Stop messing around with bikes.. they will never be as much fun as the escort!! [:x)]

Haha yeah I'm already realising that, the bike broke yesterday on its first time out. It may or may not have something to do with the fact that I got stuck in some water.....hahaha.

Anyways, this arrived today from SMCKA, and I'd just like to say that Stephen was an absolute pleasure to deal with, and the product looks like great quality, I highly recommend his company.

there are a few mobile dudes that easyout bolts and stuff man should jus ring 1 up com round n have them all out in 20mins

Yeah I decided to give it a crack myself, I figured the chances of me somehow screwing it up were pretty slim, and they came out no worries. Saved myself a very few pennies, sweet deal.

Good work!!!
now put it back together
