hey guys sorry for coming back again but recently i got a used bottom end for my bike and it had good seals and bearing but it was sittin in a shed for a while and it seemed as if the bearings or the camshaft needed some lub so i poured some 2 stroke oil down there and played with the cranshaft a bit to get it in the groves but yet im still having the problem.

this is a video of the problem,my bike starts and runs but i just dont wanna chance anything and ruin this bottom end when i could jus fix this and be ok,

this is the link:

is sounds as if something in my bottom end is not getting lubrication, and because the seals in my other bottom end went so i figured why not get a new bottom end altogethen, spend 400 in the shop.

If "it seemed as if the bearings or the camshaft needed some lub" the bearings are probly junk. They could have rusted while sitting in the shed. And your bike doesn't have a cam.

What happened to your original lower end?

sorry about the camshaft deal but anyway i still have it but the seals went im really thinking about jus making one good motor out of both, such as jus take the use the seals from the bottom end i jus bout and fix mines and use the one i have as spare.

This half-assed approach will end up costing you way more than a couple new crank seals. Chances are the one you just bought is worse off from sitting in that shed than the one you had in the first place.
