i have a radical. Every 40 hours it needs a rebuild. This is something i'm definitely not going to attempt myself, and will most likely take it to either radical or RLM.
I've googled around trying to find some principles of what goes on with an engine rebuild. I'm sure I could remove the engine and take it all apart myself, carefully following the suzuki workshop manual.
But then what? What is inspected, and what gets replaced? What parts do you check for what condition? And how would you know? (hence why i will pay someone to rebuild it, i've no idea!).

struggling to find some basic principles on it etc. for those of you who have to get your engines rebuild every so often, what gets replaced? Could you share some insight?
