Hello,
I picked up up a project 07 fe550, it started burning oil on the PO, he took it apart and there it sat. From what I can tell something scratched the cylinder, causing a lot of blow by or oil getting passed the rings.
The weird thing is the valves look just fine, and so does the piston. It has a couple of scratches on it but none that line up with the mark on the cylinder.
So any opinions on what caused it? Something sucked through the intake?
Also, for rebuild what is available? Are there any larger bore sleeves, high compression pistons, cams ect available? I'm very new to husabergs so whatever worth while mods or upgrades to do while I'm in there would be good to know.
Thanks!
