hey ive recently lost the center rod bearing on my crank. resulting in burning down the middle piston and have a few scratches on the walls of my cylinder,and also the middle connecting rod was rubbing on the bottom on my crank case so i sanded it down with sand paper. a guy i knew honed the cylinder out the best they could but you could still lightly feel them but he said it should be alright . also when i tested the compression before pulling them engine apart there was 0 psi on the middle, 90 on the mag, and 90 on the pto. what do you think happened to the both the PTO and MAG side so it would lose compression? here are some pictures that i took of the damage. my viper was a 2004 model. also i wondering are there any canadian guys around ontario get there crank rebuilt anywhere locally. i have sent my crank to a guy in newfoundland and turns out they cant change the connecting rod needle bearings because they told me it was a webber bearing or something that they could not change or didnt have the stuff to do it. ended up wasting $100 sending it out to them and getting it back.

Do some searches, I think there are a few guys out east that do them. Hamilton and some place in quebec. Anyone can rip these triple cranks apart but not a lot of guys want to put them back together due to the 120 degree phase shift and welding.
