    longevity of a falicon balanced prox rod?????

    hey everyone i have a 505 sx engine that now has 110 hours on it.I rebuilt the crank and rod with a pro x unit at 40 hours with falicons work done to it. The bike still runs great and the rod feels tight on the pin. i have it all apart to replace piston and valves but i feel the crank and rod bearings are ok??? i did kiwi craigs suggestions at 40 hours and doubled crank end play to .60mm and upped the oil pressure witht the shim. Very strict oil changes were always done and i dont reallt know if i should gamble on it or not? i know these motors very well so i think im gunna run it!! at 39 hours the rod started knocking so i know what that sounds like at least! Any suggestions from you guys that have 100 plus hour motors? thanks for looking!!!

    I have about 50 hrs on my pro x rod, and it wasn't balanced. I have the head and cylinder off at the minute but have yet to inspect the bottom end. Ill keep you informed.

    I started seeing small copper colored shavings in the oil screen, about 6 hrs before my rod started knocking.Those shavings ended up being parts of the big end bearing cage.So... if you haven't seen any shavings in the screen,I say run that shiet!!!!
