When you say you have changed the bearings, did you check the crank was ok? 99.9% of the time when you get a big end fail it takes the crank out with it, along with the rod.

Always change the crank mate for piece of mind.

hi m8,here in mauritius,cranks are not available. you have to buy a whole engine for it,and its not cheap here. well crank was inspected,was ok.will start checking timing belt,then remove the engine to strip..

Also bare in mind it may also take some out of the rod causing excessive clearance. Shells rarely fix a knocking big end.

hi everyone,so stripped the engine today:
result: Piston were slightly hitting the head due to too thin layer gasket(0.75mm)
Now changing to 1.5mm.Nearly unbelievable!
