Found some trouble today

Well I opened up the motor today andfound some bad news. First the cam bearings are pretty bad. One even has a chunk out of it. Next I broke one of the bolts on the top cam chain idler. So I got the old rings out and cleaned up the old gasket gunk. I went to put the cylinders on and noticed the fron cam chain guide is broken. All the chunks are down in the motor somewhere. I'm hoping the parts are in the pan. Oh well off to z1enterprises. :( I took somepics and will load them later.

Bad luck, but at least we know you've been riding it right.:)

It's kinda funny that the bike even ran like that. I'm going to pull the pan tonight and see what I find. I statred it about a month ago to move it in the garage and it ran without making any strange noises so I think I lucked out. BTW I ordered new parts from Jeff and it came to only $28 or so. Well I'm off to scrape gaskets! :P
