Well here we go - the Coguaro's crank is in being ground to upgrade to roller bearing instead of white metal and 2nd oversize big ends as well. I shall take pictures and post as things progress. Having rebuilt the Strada a number of years ago I have an idea of what is to come!! Any helpful hints willingly accepted!

Good luck with the rebuild jb. I'll be looking out for the pics.

The engineering firm rang today - job done ready for pick-up. The guy who did the grinding wants to discuss the job - don't know whether that is good or not!!
Photos to follow when I get the crank back.

Re: The Rebuild Looms
That's interesting ?
There don't appear to be any 'knicks' on your con rods, to avoid the cams ? I thought on 500s all rods were 'relieved' a bit so they didn't touch the came. Do the 508cc "501" motos have slimmer rods then than "normal' 478 "500s" ?
Anyone know ?
Cheers
