One can only imagine attempting to troubleshoot the older build. The combination of the bent crank and the misfire/ bucking issue would be an impossible situation.

Sorry about that rear seal. One of those "Really WTH" moments. Feel your pain.<br>

Put some miles on the new engine last weekend and it put some smiles on ME!<br>
and noticed that the ONLY time it would miss, was over 1200 and under 2500<br>
RPM, Hmmm. what would<br>
<br>
Do THAT? So I swapped out the least likely problem, the control unit, and<br>
Walla! Its FIXED!<br>
<br>
Running perfectly now over the whole curve, may tweak the mixture a bit more<br>
once im on the highway for long trips next year but for now its fine, and<br>
SEEMS to be running a lot cooler than<br>
<br>
Previous builds and no hint of the bucking issues ive had in the past. Ill<br>
have to open the bad brain up and see if I can find anything but it was<br>
either the unit or the connection to it.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Charging system SEEMS to be better now too, it HAD a new Bosch alternator on<br>
it but that was swapped out for a generic rebuild when everything was apart<br>
and the Bosch did have a lot more end play than the new one but again, when<br>
im on the road for an extended time Ill do an apples to apples comparison.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Now to spend my mental angst on other things, like the front main seal that<br>
seems to be seeping a bit. Front main seals seem to be a problem with Type<br>
4's and even though I re-used the previous seal as it was NOT leaking,<br>
Victor Reinz oil EVERYWHERE.<br>
