It appears the rotor may have sheared the key and spun on the crank. Waiting for the special rotor puller tool to get it off and fix.

Finally got the rotor puller. Yup, key was sheared. Couldn't find metric key stock here in Bastrop so I macgyvered the sheared key by flipping it over, filing it to fit and got everything back together.
She fired right up and idled!
Tomorrow I will put the muffler on and let her warm up and get the rear wheel back together for a test drive.
YAAY!

Ok. First venture on to the highway. Engine response is as it should be. Pulled right up to 60mph.
The cvt has 11g weights which put the shift point at 7krpm. Im theorizing that 11k miles of this tuning is what caused the rod bearing and oil pump failure. I think I should detune itit down to 4500 or 5000 rpm shift point to give the engine longer life.
What weight do ya'll think will lower the shift point to 5000 rpm?

Head gasket seems to have a leak as the oil turns dark in 5-10 miles and oil specks in the coolant tank.

Can't find a head gasket.
Next step- Has anyone had a copper headgasket cut from an existing used head gasket? Preferably a company in rhe U.S., in Texas would be even better!

Used a wrong fitting gasket out of the gasket kit for this engine. Modified it to fit and got evrything back together. Runs good! Its nice to be back commuting on the scooter! YAY!
