Rod or Ray

[Canuck 16]

Dont know if you have read my post "Think I hurt my gearbox".<br />Is it posible for a prop strike to cause damage up in the powerhead, like a crank bearing or something, and it only show up with the motor under load, ie in gear?<br />The mechanic who checked for a bent propshaft, seemed to think the LU was fine .<br /><br />Thanks for any advice... Canuck 16.

Re: Rod or Ray

only way to tell is dissasemble the gear case and have a look<br /> if it chipped a gear its expensive. I doubt it hurt a crank bearing. that normally sounds like marbles in a can.<br /> what is your shaft lenth or post me the model number

then also check the bushing in the exhaust housing<br /> if your that concerned about the lower crank bearing then place a dial indicator on the crank at the flywheel nut and pull up. should have less than .oo5" or so travel<br /> good luck and keep posting
