Title: New shells
Post by: jas on February 17, 2018, 03:07:47 PM

Hi ya,
I have a 550 from 1977 stripped it down and I need new big end shells and crankshaft shells the letters on the crankcase are ccbc  which means i need 3 greens and 1 brown I think,there are no colour codes on the side of the shells on any of them and there is nothing on the rods to indicate what size i need,the only thing i can find is on the crankcase shells there is D6K-A on all the shells, and on the con rod shells there is D6J-A on all of them does this mean anything to any one out there,coz im confused .
jason.

There should be 5 letters on the crankcase and although difficult to see i guarantee there will be codes on both the crank and the rods. Lettering on shells means nothing at all sorry to say
