Something I have wondered, when I do my japanese engines the oil bleed on the big ends is cut out like an eye, allows a bigger contact patch for the oil. HillBilly: Polishing was mentioned to me by the nitriding company, I am assuming this is simply using a lint free cloth and polishing the surface of the journals? If it gives me wear resistance too - thats a big bonus. This bike has been known as a yearly project, usually over the winter period it gets pulled apart in one form or another and gets worked on (usually me trying to cure non problems rather than failure or breakdown) I hoping to have a good few riding years left in me (as im only a youngster) and only want to be looking at photos of the inside of the engine and not the real thing, at least for a very long time. The purpose of the work is to reduce the chance of fracture, I don't LSR this bike like Hillbilly but do ride it fast and intend to use it for a lot of mileage. BrizzoBrit: good information - thankyou, do you remember what material your crank was ground from?
