    It was an unfortunate oversight that i should have picked up on.

    I expect locktite would have saved the day. Theres no "space" for nyloc nuts on the end of the bolts.

    spring washers are normally enough to stop them rattling loose but it happens :( Treadlock is a good idea but it can get a little messy

    Posh motors are wire lock but OTT for most applications...threadlock and spring washers should be fine.

    Yeah i didnt have any washer at all.

    Its been pulled apart, the piston is a bit damaged on top but the bottom end turns over perfect, and the bores are absolutely mint!.

    So will sell the bottom end without pistons and rod, but keep the crank bearings e.t.c so you KNOW its a sound B/E in which case, and considering i actually want to get rid really quick, i will take any offers via PM.
