It will be a while before I get an opportunity to put my ST1100AY back together but decided I will continue accumulating all the replacement parts I will need. I stripped down my engine to find that the bearing shell holder had fretted with pickup so I am now on the hunt for a new crankcase (upper and matching lower).
The challenge I have is that whenever I come across an engine from a salvage yard they refuse to strip it down and remove the shell bearings for photos. I can understand that though for walk in buyers or someone who can return
Anyway, I thought I would put the wanted message up in case someone ends up breaking an ST1100 engine at some point ! The fretting issue is most likely more common than discussed
Thx Steve
