glad you "fixed the problem". I hate when you can find a solution and really the next best thign is to just chuck the motor.
hopefully this will solve everhythiugn for you
Thanks He Man, I hope so too!
I think it was the heads that were the problem. I haven't explored into them further than taking them off the bike but I think the cams got badly worn when the exhaust valves receded into the head which pushed up hard against the rockers which pushed against the cams with no valve clearance. I'm sure I'll be taking them apart so I can get a final confirmation.
At some point I'll probably get crack the cases on the other motor and have the engine mount fixed. Then put in my stator, switch clutch covers, put that in the bike and beat the shit out of that motor for another 40K miles. I'll probably take some time with that since the bike is running well and I can finally go out for some rides.
Thanks for everyone's input in helping me figure this thing out. Too bad I had to replace the heads, pistons and cylinders but for $300 I got an engine with 300 miles on it. I couldn't pass up the offer, it was just too good of a deal.
Anyway thanks again guys, this board rocks!!
