No, nothin' like that. I was stupid and didn't go through the motor when I put the bike together. The motor sat for 8 years out of the frame and I fiqured 'cause it had good comp. and turned over good I didn't need to worry about it. The center oil hole in the crank pin was plugged and it took about 3500 miles for the bearing to give up.
