Yep, seems that way. I hope Honda has learned something from that for their current models.Probably another victim of the "backwards oil filter" installation.

I wouldn’t be surprised. The good news is that the new oil filter was installed correctly… Not that it helps at this point LOL.Hmmm...well, that's not good news...
The part that threw me was it seemed to spin over manually without extreme effort.

I seriously considered it, but the prices were double over the deal I got for this 250 motor with 6k miles on it - that doesn't count for the ECU or tuner I'd need. I'll salvage the damaged motor and who knows... Maybe rebuild it and bore it out for fun. Always wanted to do a complete engine rebuild. For now though, this 250 will perfectly serve its purpose as a cheap track bike to get me back out thereGet a 300 engine!![]()
How many miles does the bike have on the clock. Honda says you can go 12,000km (~8,000 miles) without changing the oil so to get the engine to disintegrate like that the previous owner would have to have ridden the bike well beyond that (or he never did the 600 miles change when breaking the engine in).I am beginning to believe it wasn't necessarily an oil starvation issue as much as it was a neglected oil change that caused the rod bearing to grenade itself.
It has 31k miles on the ODO, so a reasonable amount of time to be neglected. Could have been low on oil too.How many miles does the bike have on the clock.

If so...Please maybe you bring us pictures from the process?I think I'm going to use electrolysis
Sure!If so...Please maybe you bring us pictures from the process?
- Before?
- After?
- And a picture of the setup?
By the way, I understand that with the same set up you can also do the protective coating, lets say zinc coating.Here’s my set up. The gas cap ended up wearing out and would spin continuously without actuating the mechanism, so I drilled it out. Was unable to find a good way to seal the top fill hole with what I have in hand and decided to reinstall the old fuel pump assembly bottom. I’ll let it run for the next 36 hours or so. New pump assembly is here, so this is all I’m waiting for! Next thing to address will be all cosmetic.
