Hi all. New to forums and Kawasakis. My story goes like this. My brothers brother in law bought this sled new in 1989, used it one season and left it in my Aunts barn. He never came back for it. After about 5 years my aunt and uncle got it out and used it until they blew the motor in it. My uncles a diesel mechanic and pulled the cylinder off it. The ring broke and scored the cylinder. When he got prices to fix it he just put it back in the barn and left it with one cylinder off. I got it out at Christmas and brought it home. I bought another one for motor parts, the wrist pin hole on the connecting rod is rusted and need the cylinder of course. I have the two motors tore down to the crankshaft. I plan to take them to a performance shop to press them apart, change bearings, seals, and 1 connecting rod. After reading these forums it sounds like centre seal won't be required. The bearings look good to me, I thought they would have a little rust on them but they look ok. What would one expect to pay to press two cranks apart and put one back together with bearings and seals? I have this sled shining like new- aluminum looks like chrome, carb cleaned with new fuel lines, gettin excited to get her back together. Will try to post a pic. Sorry for the long winded introduction.
If any ones wondering there's also 2 boa skis and 2scorpions in that barn that might have to come out soon.
