Press the starter than "BANG"

Well It wasn't the monster thank god but I'm still pissed.......

I got an R6 off a buddy for dirt cheap with bent valves figured it would make a good track bike.  Tore it down got a new head and rebuilt it to spec with the service manual. everything's good to go checked and double checked.  I go to start it it fires up and then bang WTF I pull the valve cover off and the damn timing chain slipped on the intake cam and bent a valve on the new head 

Back to square one looks like the timing chain tensioner isn't working the way it should.  The price I pay in time and headaches on a good deal just may not be worth it.  But I'll take any day in the garage over a day at work 

Just Figured I would vent hear I'm not a fan of the R6  forums.

Well, that sucks.  At least it was the pos and not the good bike.
