Need a new crankshaft to my 1981 SRX 440 E.

? ? viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2132 ? ?

Also interested in bying a Vmax 540 crankshaft an engine cases. The crankshaft in my srx 440E is in bad shape. Need all bearings an one new rod bearing and part # 8M6-11442-00. Thats why I think it is easyest to get a "new" used crankshaft or a Vmax 540 crankshaft and engine cases.

I called a friend of mine yesterday. He used Vmax 540, Phaser 480 and Exiter 570 in the late 80's and in the 90's in dragracing. I asked if he had a Vmax crankshaft and crankcases lying from the days he used to build engines and dragrace.
He said yeah sure, come to me and I will see what i can find.
I went to him and he had 1 Vmax 540 race engine without waterpump with shortened crank.
He also had 1 Vmax 540 engine with waterpump. 9 Vmax 540 cylinders, some of them ported. 5 cylinderheads, 3 crankshafts, chaincase, rear bumper with all plastic covers, 7 stators, 7 rotor assembly, taillight and the covers over the ts suspension that have Yamaha ts suspension written on them.

I am sure i have forgotten some of the parts I bought from him, but this is what I remember.
He said he was going to take a look up on the attic and in some of his garages to see if he could find some more parts for me. Maybe he had a race exhaust to the Vmax and some sidepanels to the exhaust/clutch, and maybe a Srx 500 piston or two.

I therefore dont need to buy a Vmax crankshaft anymore to my restoration of the Srx 440E.

Holy, Jackpot !
