Just fitted a new rod to my 78 390WR. The parts were ordered as the original numbers from my parts book. They were from Jef Bens in Belgium.
With the new rod in place it just fouls the crankcases at the front and rear. It seems the culprit is the junction between the big end O.D. and the start of the rod itself. The machined diameter of the big end does not seem to blend in correctly with the rod. It is not much (maybe .5mm in a small area). Has anyone else come accross this problem ? My thoughts for tomorrow are to gently blend the offending areas of the rod with my dremel.
