Long story short, Time for yet another rebuild of my engine.
Extended version, I just replaced the cam chain tensioner spring on my 96 600, no biggie right? that's what I thought too as I fired it up this afternoon after I got it completely back together after the little endevor, only to hear the horrid sound of metal snapping and rattleing around the engine. Tore everything back appart, and ALL of the rocker arms on the intake side... GONE. Snapped all 8 of them off. SO somewhere lost in the bowels of the engine are 8 or more tiny pieces of rocker arm, 8 valve shims, and 16 of these other little funky arched pieces. Happy Days For me...
Sorry.. had to vent a little.
OH and the good news. Since the cost of parts to fix will be in excess of $500 the Wife has deemed that the bike be sold and replaced So anyone want to buy a bike cheap? (if so see the "for sale" board or e-mail me [email protected])
