Well, just got the bad news. Same thing happend to mine. Inner cam bearing exploded and dumped pieces of bearing/cage into the case!
Decision time! Do I get it rebuilt? Put another motor in? Maybe the 120R or something else? Or trade it as is on a new one....
On mine, the only thing that was reused were the heads & only after a complete rebuild. Even the cases had to be replaced as "chunks" had gotten caught under the flywheel and just destroyed the bottom of the case.
Not sure what I would have done if I had not had the extended warranty, it was not a good time $$ wise for us so the warranty saved our butts. That $1800, 7 year warranty paid $9600 to completely build me a new motor.
Beserker - The oil doesn't go into the primary, it just sits in the bottom of the engine case & can't get pumped because the oil pump gets toasted with all the metal, the outer ring on mine was actually broken in 1/2. You check the oil, it looks low so you add oil, I did the same thing, I added 2 quarts to get it back full. When it was drained at the shop (Yuill Bros) to take it apart, 6 qts came out but very little was circulating. My oil pressure was also basically 0.
Get a quote from the dealer on a rebuild and also what he will give you on trade then weigh your options. If you buy the new one, get the 7 year warranty. Of course that's just my opinion.
Good luck, I feel for you having been there.
