Hi Feetupfun,
So with the top end off and all apart:
I cant feel any play at all at the flywheel.
There is some rocking play in the big end but none up and down (certainly none that I can feel with my hands/finger tips)
The little end has quite a lot of rocking play and a small amount of up/down play. The gudgeon pin has slight wear on it, I think I will replace the bearing, gudgeon pin and clips whilst I have this apart.
The piston rings both seem free in their slots, I cant see any scoring on the rings, there is very light scoring on the cylinder wall, is this something to be concerned about?
From what I can work out it has had a newer piston fitted as the width of the little end bearing is the same as splat shops description of the past 06 virtex piston
I also discovered the transmission oil looking quite milky so I am going the do the water pump seals & check the shaft.
