I hope those weren't your valves that went into raptor03s head because you won't be getting them back.

BTW i am ready to put it back together so i want all my parts back.

As you know....I was only having a little fun Mark...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].

 

my valves stay back!!!!!

 

If you guys are saying its a lack of oil and head, check the bearings. Those two variables alone will make the bearings will go south a lot faster then a rod will. If it got hot, check the bore and the plug color. its simple stuff, it doesnt take a rocket scientist, or even a washed up mechanic to tell if a motor got too hot.

 

Is BibBubba running again?

What was the cause of this failure?

 

It's running again! Actually not quite but it's put together besides the clutch side cover cause it needs to be polished. The cause was a broken rod which is now very heavy duty and HOPEFULLY shouldn't break!

 

Good to hear your are up and running again! Hope it runs as good if not better then ever before!

 

that's good to hear..

 

what rod are you running?
