Hi ,I have a 2002 yamaha big bear 400 2WD ,purchased used ,devoloped a oil leak at rear of engine kinda like where the out put shaft goes out ,I kept a eye on oil level while older sons didn't ,long story short ,when I went to start it up one day,it cranked and popped but wouldn't start ,oil level EMPTY,I tried filling it and it ran out as fast as I poured it in,,two questions most likely ate the rings and bearings yes or no ,do you think that fixing that seal will restore enough compression to make it useable and here's a third question who around upstate NY area to do a rebuild or are crate motors available and if so from where ?
