Hello everyone,
I'm new here, but have referred to some posts from the forum in the past as a guest.
My M696 recently suffered engine damage while I was out riding- to diagnose, I started by opening the timing belt covers and both tensioners were broken and the belts frayed a little, but not broken. After that, I pulled the horizontal head off and surprisingly everything looks good in there! The vertical head, however, is in bad shape- one of the valves is broken, the piston has a hole in it and the spark plug damaged.
The engine is now on the bench and I plan on rebuilding the vertical head. I know that I will have to replace the piston, cylinder, valves, probably rocker arms, head, guides etc., and will also check the connecting rod and probably the crankshaft as well for damage, but is there anything else you guys suggest that I look for or keep in mind?
Any help is welcome and greatly appreciated! Thank you, everyone.
P.S. I'm aware that I was an idiot and it was my bad for not checking, adjusting and replacing the timing belts on time, so spare the bashing, please, and just try to help if you can!
