Some people (idiots) should not work on quads

Just got done putting new crank seals (thanks AWK) in my 94. Discovered it had a massive leak when I did a leakdown test. It wouldn't hold any air and I could hear air escaping from the crankcase vent.

Got it apart and discovered that it didn't have the bearing spacer that goes between the right crank bearing and crank gears. Talk about a vacuum leak, there was a 1/4 inch gap between the seal and the crank! On top of that, I discovered the idiot had not indexed the crank to the countershaft! Dumb mother trucker. No wonder it "vibrated a bit".
 
Yeah, thats how far mine was off, too. I thought it was just a really crappy motor. Now it has hope of being a strong runner. Need to take it and rejet now. Seems a little lean now that it isn't drinking oil by the quart.
 
yea like YB said my counter balancer was a 1/4 turn off and it had a bunch of dog crap welds. work at a bike shop you see some wonderful repair work and i swear half the oil plugs were put on by impact wrench if ever touched.
