GL1100 engine rattles under load?
imported post
hello, I bought my 81 goldwing interstate a few days ago with 67k miles for 775 bucks!! it smoked like a steam engine on the way home, I have since drained the extra 2.5 qts of oil it had in it (about 6.5 qts total!!
) and the smoking has went away after it the puff I get at startup from the valve seals.
I have a question, if I put the engine under a heavy load at low rpm (trying to pull a gear to high) the engine rattles from the bottom end, like the crank bearings have to much clearance, but the oil light doesn't come on, and above 1500 rpm or so its fine, I save above 1500 because the carbs need ballanced right now, and it will fall down so low in rpm that its is only doing maybe 600 rpm and hitting on one or 2 cylinders..
does anyone elses bike make this lower end rattleor should I look into rebuilding the engine in a month or so? (riding season is allmost over in ohio :X)
