![]() 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. ![]() ![]() 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 dr_rodey@yahoo.com)

![]() If you have a source, I'd love to hear about it.. especially if they have any 750's they'd part with for that price.

![]() Tried e-bay, nothing decent close, and shipping is outrageous from most places. And if I'm going to do a swap, i'd like it to be a 750 or larger, so I'll probably stick with plan B and sell her off (God I'm going to miss this bike) and get something new/different.

![]() So tell us the long story about how changing a spring caused your entire valve system to spontaneously self-destruct...

![]() Unless you didn't install the tensioner correctly, and the chain skipped causing the piston to hit the valves, I have NO idea how that could have happened.
