Hot Rods 89-01 Honda CR 500 R 500cc Bottom End Kit

If you're getting ready to rebuild the bottom end of your 1989-2001 Honda CR 500 R, this kit from Hot Rods is a solid way to get everything you need in one convenient package. Rebuilding the crankcase and lower engine components is a critical job, and having all the right parts together makes the process much smoother. This kit is designed to cover the essential components for that lower end rebuild.

Inside this box, you'll find a new crankshaft, which is the heart of your engine's rotating assembly. It also includes a main bearing and seal kit, crucial for ensuring smooth operation and preventing leaks around the crankshaft. To top it all off, you get a complete gasket kit for both the top and bottom ends, along with all the necessary seals. This comprehensive approach means you won't be hunting for individual pieces, saving you time and potentially money compared to sourcing each part separately from the OEM. Hot Rods also offers stroker crankshaft options on some models, which can provide an increase in displacement for more power if that's something you're looking for in your CR 500 R build.

When undertaking a bottom end rebuild, it's always a good idea to consult your service manual for specific torque sequences and assembly procedures. Having all these core components in one kit simplifies the parts gathering phase, letting you focus on the meticulous work of putting your engine back together correctly.
