THE DRAMA
After a week of relaxation not to approach the bike, letting it sit, in the end we got to try to analyze what, how and why we left lying on Guzzi Alcarràs .
With age, one will learn to ignore their instincts, or feelings, or female sixth sense, call it whatever you want.
The thing is, remember, the bike was perfect the whole race, until, after cut before the bend, opening again at home straight clingclingclings began a massacre of the engine.
The pit stop we decided to tweak it seemed it could be, but in the end, based on the feeling that gave me the bike up, desábamos rather what it was. So fret on, seeing that the points were blazing, changing capacitors ... Overall, nothing.
Well what was. Once at the Ufficio Corse, the first thing that occurred to me is to lift the nocks, to see if it had a valve out of adjustment.
The appearance was normal, but I decided to watch the play. We took the alternator cover, allen axis crankshaft and the engine started to turn ... until it is nailed. Shit! This is too hard! We give the starter motor, and turns, but no hand.
Jodeeeer
So, let's open the crankcase below to see why.
By removing the oil plug first ... Surprise! And copper pieces (or rather bronze) glued to the magnet of the cap. This is serious ... One begins to spin ... ayayayyy ...
and removed the bottom plate of the housing. The board "Sutge Racing" is a fucking. A good invention, we suppose.
But we soon to confirm the drama. The base of the chip pan full of some yellow metal.
That one begins to wish, as the color of broken metal, which are the plain foot rod, by the thing that kills reencasquillarlos the dog and the dead rabies. More than anything, because they were mounted as is, without verifying or anything. But that's in doubt, many questions ...
Anyway, to lift and remove cylinder heads to see where the drama.
cylinders
And once outside, and is then ... While connecting rod (connection rod / piston), fucking big end (connection rod / crankshaft). In fact, the front rod (cylinder right) caps completely destroyed, with a fucking slack between rod and crankshaft (hence the clingclingcling)
dismantle the two cranks, and rear the situation is not much better. How can it be? If precisely in this motor are neck and bench grinding crankshaft with new rod bushings and bearings also new front and rear?
therefore will be I loaded the motor. The two heads of connecting rod and crankshaft neck to hell. But ... if the big end shells are silver ... why there ferricha gold? There
I left. Few want to continue gutting the bike.
several questions now arise:
What else is affected? We must remove the crankshaft and check their bearings.
If they are wrong, it will be a general problem of crankcase oil level. But how will it be lack of lubrication? The oil pressure warning light is not lit at any time during the race, or even throughout the whole lap I gave after fault.
That may make us suspect something ... It oils the front crankshaft bearing and the oil continues upward through the casing, giving the control oil pressure, that is clear. But that does not necessarily indicate that the oil to flow through it down into the crankshaft bearing and stud ... While it may be rare, because the oil also reached into the rear bearing crankshaft from the same system from the oil pressure pump. Crankshaft inside full of mange? Impossible. I swear I cleaned. Sealed ducts in the crankshaft? Amosnomejodas, like, the cleaned.
So ... we have to suspect other things. A bad crankshaft grinding neck? A bad tightening connecting rod bolts?
will have to wait to remove the crankshaft, and see how far the drama has arrived. Scares me, because they also have to make some effort to turn towards it. Very rare. To see if the main bearings too ...
At least it will not be abandoned by a twat (go comfort) and you really could not do anything to follow. In other words, the platinum ignition fucking works. At the moment?
73 days remain for the second race. To see if we can. But for now, the Jarama have to go with the one that never fails ...
