I have a RTV 900 that developed a knock . I pulled the engine trany and dropped the oil pan and the center rod is loose. I pulled off the cap and the crank shaft is scored.
What are my options? The money man thinks I can pull crankshaft , grind the bad journal and put it back together with new bearings. That seems too easy, a recipe for unpleasantness.
Or , take a crankshaft out of other RTV 900 that did not knock and stick it in with new bearings.. that doesn't take in account if the rod has some issue. I have questions like how to determine which bearing set to use, if any of the above mentioned repairs are even feasible.
He doesn't want to spend the 6k for reman motor, or the 3 to 4 thousand for used. Wants to do a bandaid. Your expertise and advice on what should be done and what will or not work is greatly appreciated
