I assume you're referring to the possible bent shaft or damaged bearings... It was a pretty subtle thing on the counter-sprocket side of my original engine, and was never even verified. It was the clutch side that put me over the edge to replace the engine. I haven't had any problems sense then. This is partly due to the entire big-picture experience teaching me not to be so compulsive about motorcycle maintainance.... In fact, I can now proudly say that I rode to/from work today, in the rain, with a bald rear tire
Ok, so the replacement comes with this next weeks paycheck, but before I would have replaced it at the slightest hint that a single wear-bar was exposed.
I put the 15T on my replacement engine as well, and have not had any issues with it. However, I used an impact wrench instead of a breaker bar on the CS nut. IMO, specific torque on this nut is not critical because of the splined washer that is bent to hold the nut from spinning.
