Well today it has happened.....
Just found out my motor is seized!!! When we put the kick start on it was imposable to start. Then we put the yz450f cam's in and it was still unusually hard to start. Then we figured it out, the rod was seized to the crank....
I figured out when I happened, my last race (budd's creek) I had the stator cover fall off causing oil to go everywhere and no oil in the motor. I didn't know how bad it was so I found a spare cover and filled it up with oil. But after riding half a moto with the cover off the damage was done. The cylinder wall has gouges all in it and the rod and crank is seized. Look like my bank account id going to be drained once again. I was supposed to buy a jeep next weekend too........
Pictures will come Monday when I go to the shop with a camera
i was calling this race season "The Season From Hell", looks like its worse then that now....
