Rd 400 needs crank seals

[daves1977rd]

 :help:My 1977 Rd 400 has almost 33k on the original crankseals.It is hard to start ,surged badly and then went nuts revving in neutral  with the key off.Was wanting to get a electronic ignition put in it ,but now I think I also need the bottom rebuilt.It had a new pistons app 3k ago. Has old accel coils and it seems to stay charged.Is a dyna S good?And what do I need to have done to the crank? Ozmo Rd.

1: how comfortable are you with splitting an engine case?

2: what is your budget? because while its out, its prob time for a crank rebuild.

Hi, I'm not comfortable with case splitting,or electrics.Prices are all over the place and pretty high as expected.Any good reviews on wilson performance center in Lees Sumit mo.or anyone else?

I agree. If you don't have the tools, skill, aptitude, attitude - have a wallet.

Thanks for the tip! I talked to Ed on the phone the other day and just looked at pic's on facebook.Prices seem reasonable for the quality of the work.He knows what works and doesn't seem to be selling any fluff.Now I just need to get my Rd too him.
