[QUOTE="Shadowpillar, post: 1128040, member: 72805"] Okay, I'm relatively new at rebuilding engines, I know the basic part of the engine the cylinder and piston. but I have a good feeling I need to split the whole engine apart and replace some things, the poor thing sat out, in the open (with the head and cylinder removed) for 2 years, the oil had water in it when I drained it. So, would putting in a new seals and bearings be a good idea? I dont plan on replacing the rod, it seems to be fine, but the bearings I wouldnt trust as when I would try to crank the engine to move it, it stuck until I used a lot of force to make it crank, then it would do it, but it felt somewhat sticky, which probably isnt a good sign. So, how do I go about it? I know I'm going to need a clymer guide on the bike (DT175B) and some new bearings and seals, and a new piston connecting rod (this one is lightly oxidized and has been knocked about a few times) Or do you guys think I even need to do this at all and just replace the piston on the bike and give it some fresh oil?
