[QUOTE="mkandl53, post: 288782, member: 28843"] The latest is that I measured the mismatch at the top of the cases with a straight edge and there was .0025" offset between the two halves at the front and rear of the machined area where the cylinder sits. I relayed this to the dealer who called Kaw and they said to send them the cases. So, I split the cases and sent them to Kaw in CA. I should know something today or tomorrow... I photographed the case mismatch and the crank discolortation but Kaw apparently wants to see the actual parts. So far, except for the clutch and tranny, there is just about every component on the engine being replaced. One last note, when the lower end bearing failed it not only sent the debris through the engine, the rod made contact with the bottom of the cases and started grinding them away! I can only hope to not be going through this again for awhile or the KX65 will be on the sales block and we will switch to the KTM 65SX, that's for sure! [/QUOTE]
