Engine rebuild


Recommended Posts

Came across a picture of a crank for a Venture on Ebay, I put some arrows at the points on the crank that I mentioned there could be an interference point.

 

Picture the rods attached, piston is at the bottom of its travel, the piston skirts will be in close proximity to the points I highlighted on crank.

I see. I don't have a RSV crank here so I can't do any comparison. It would be nice if the pistons will fit. I tried to look also at different pictures on the internet to compare the pistons and crankshaft from VR and RSV. They actually, from the pictures, looks to be the same. I think maybe they're made from different alloys, not necessarily they have different shapes and sizes.

 

By the other hand, I just located a cheap a crank case that apparently looks good:

Could you please take a look at it and let me know your opinion if this piece worth or not? I tried to ask them for more pictures but maybe due to language barrier (because my technical english is far to be perfect :p ) I had no success. If you can find out more from them it would be very useful for me. Thank you.

 

I really don't understand what exactly means "fire damage" in their description. I'm seeing the same at another item http://www.ebay.com/itm/89-Yamaha-Venture-Royale-XVZ1300-1300-HEAD-CYLINDER-VALVE-SET-/310754306651?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item485a666a5b and wires from the coils melted in another picture: http://www.ebay.com/itm/89-Yamaha-Venture-Royale-XVZ1300-1300-COILS-COIL-/190910692099?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c7329fb03 but it is not clear to me if there is something wrong with the crankcase.
