pothole Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Ok, as some of you have read, I'm going to set out on the rebuild of the TY80. Looking at it last night it appears the rod has wedged itself between the crank lobes, and there is some serious damage to that entire unit. Based on what I'm seeing, I am assuming I'm going to need the entire crankshaft & rod assembly. Cranks seem to be fairly rare, although I can still get a connecting rod. Anybody have any ideas on a parts source? Obviously I'm looking at Ebay, but I want to get this project going and I'm not seeing anything out there right now. How does a GT80 crank/rod compare to the TY80, are there certain years that are interchangable? Seems to be alot more GT80 parts out there than TY80 parts.

stork955 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Gday, According to my cross-reference GT 80's and YZ 80's from the same years are the same. Get the crank apart, it may not be as bad as you think. Cheers, Stork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
