Worst day ever

[Spudley]

Not sure what's broke. Little far down the line from anything moving, but we'll find out. It's off to the right of #4. In front of the timing chain. Beauty is it was under pressure. Metal fragments go out, not in. Drop it, split it, and take a bunch of pictures.

I have a plethora of main, and rod bearings. Measure everything out, and when you know what you need hit me up. Maybe I can fill in a bunch of positions for you.

Don't draw conclusions until you get in there. It might come down to a case, bearings, gasket kit, and some Zuki-Bond....never know until you know !. Might get lucky. Roll the bones, and let's find out.

Wow Greg! Wake up to read this turd in the punch bowl story I have a few side jobs coming up in a few weeks. Pm me a pay pal, and I'll see what I can send over towards parts.
Fyi I've been there. 30 days after a frame off build it was all trashed. Times 3. two bikes and a truck. It blows, but you do it again for
What we love and enjoy.

Did not see the second picture. Yessir. We need some parts. Greg, relax, it'll be back in action in no time. Wish you lived near me. Just need someone with the right tools. Who lives out there that's built a motor or two ?.

This one is going to Frank if he'll take it on. I'm done trying my hand at it. I'll let the master build it up.

I should have a couple hours after work. I plan on trying to pull the motor today in that time. Then I may have a couple more hours to open her up on Saturday.

oil line only adds pressure
ratchet keeps tensioner held in place


FWIW I never had that line off, let me know if you want to double check the cam timing, but it should be fine,

If it's an early cct, with a spring, the chain CAN jump with predictable results. Happened to me in '99.

pictures please!

Did you remove the oil plug behind the oil filter when you removed the oil cooler?

Yes. Have it sitting in a bag.

I'll post pictures of the entire tear down. I'll eventually make a long post to document this entire journey. Hopefully like last time, someone will spot something I missed.

 

[Bobby914]

Man sorry to hear this but glad it didnt grenade itself and hurt you. This can be fixed so just take your time and do it again and it will be great.

Yeah buddy that's the rebound spirit. Just know this could have happened to any of us & we all feel invested in you & your bike build. Most read back 2yrs when it started & have been interested since.

Ok. So engine out. Valve cover off. I broke another cam chain guide. This is the second one. Same exact spot as the last one. That’s not right. I’ll tear into it more tomorrow. In laws are here for dinner.

 

[Bumblebee]

Good start, at least you have lots of experience..

Hi, It is Mike if I can help in anyway give me a call at 508-496-5680 OK.

PLEASE keep us in the loop..... Once upon a time I spent a lot of money on a motorcycle and it BARELY made it home.... You can imagine how pissed my fiancée was THAT night... im not a rich man and the purchase was a fairly risky one for me right from the beginning.... If the bike had a hurt motor I would have been in trouble.... I would have had to just about empty my bank account to build a new one... but I got lucky..... frank bailed my azz out.... I firmly believe in the golden rule, I cant wait till u get this sorted out(we all know how hard u worked on it).

So the last two are the bad rod. Head looks good. I’ll end up changing out those valves as obviously they kissed the piston but the head itself looks good to me. I’ll clean everything later just tearing it down to assess the damage
