Engine parts for 2000 Super Hawk
Left over from a rebuild.
Engine died on oil starvation on main bearings.(wrong oilfilter)
Heads and the complette top end are great and don't show any signs of wear.
Also engine block, clutch, side cover,internal parts.

Yeah, you're right and I hate to admit it but I thought it was two different (really three if you count both cylinders) pieces. After your polite PM I went to the microfiche and there it was. 
To further complicate matters, I already have one of those coming. 
When RCVTR was cleaning out his garage he had one in a box and I bought it. BTW When the engine loses oil pressure usually it's the cylinders and the valve train that suffer first & the most. The journals and main bearings are still splashing around in the stuff but the top runs dry immediately. You might want to measure some of the parts just to make sure they're good. Good Luck!

How a engine works
Its very surprising how little people know about engines.
The crankshaft splashes in oil???
I don't think so.The mainbearings on the VTR(and so on many engines) are feed directly by the oilpump with high pressure oil.In some cases up to 60PSI.
And the designer do there best to keep the rotating crankshaft away from the oil. If the crank shaft is "splashing the oil" do to to high of a oil level,it wips it up to a foamy mush.And that means that the oilpump is pumping air ,and that means less oil and pressure for the main bearrings.
In this case it was a Yamaha oilfilter for a smaller engine that was unable to deliver the ammount of oil needed to keep the engine alive.
Why???
Maybe because the guy thought the crankshaft splashes some oil around and it will be fine.Piston and heads are in perfect shape,and are more in danger from overheating the engine do to coolant loss.
