Sharing: My engine got IMPALED! By bwader (Read 731 times)

Just wanted to share on this forum.

At 3,300 miles I replaced my rear tire, put in 15/37 gears in the gear case.

I had some chattering and Isolated the noise was coming from the engine and not the variator, clutch, or gears. I took off the variator, clutch and belt and started the engine and it made the same noise.

So I had heard(read) posts about a lot of people adjusting their valves to .004.

And that its apparently normal to hear a little valve chatter for 100 miles then it goes away or just adjust a little tighter.

Ok I just felt like typing that out here is the thread I started on It's The Ride forum.

I hope this happens to NOBODY. But it happened to me changing engine/gear oil often and the only thing I did bad was just ride my scooter WOT for 5 miles out of 22 on a trip to work with heavy sliders 15/16grams at around 7,000 rpms for about 55mph.

I have the broke engine off under the scooter on RED BRICKS. You have to read the thread to get the joke. Also red bricks supporting the wheel and covered.

I haven't yet split the case, its kind of a lost cause but I want to. To see what got messed up inside.

That piston rod is holding the cylinder in place so I haven't been able to get the piston apart to see the damage.

I do know the cam chain looked fine.
Cams journals were worn but okay

If you are curious about the RED BRICKS where it came from it came about from here.
