Well after running the BBK for 8000 miles it's gone kaput. The engine still has fine compression, but it's the crank bearings. They are making a knocking/scraping sound like you wouldn't believe.
It happened quite suddenly too. I'd say it started getting a little loud and progressively louder every day for about a week. To the point where it's now nearly deafening. But it still runs!
I dare not ride it anymore because I don't want the engine blowing up on me. I'd like to salvage parts off it. I don't think I'll be transferring the BBK since I don't want the new engine getting ruined in only 8000 miles.
Luckily a local supplier can get me a new complete engine for only $320.
