Okay i know its not a blaster but i figured yous guys minght know. I have a 98 rm 250 that blew a piston skirt into the bottom end and locked it up. I took engine out turned it upside down and kicked it over a couple times then put atf in it and washed it out and now it turns over fine and i cant see any metal at all. Am i able to just buy a new top end and run it?
 
You want what you want to hear or the truth? :( You need to pull that case apart and inspect for breaks and clean everything out really well. You should consider crank bearings as well.
 
My little bro has a 95 rm250 that had the same issue and he didnt want to split the cases just slap another top end on and go and thats what i did and his has been together almost 2 years and trouble free.

I flushed it pretty good and apparently got all the peices out.
