Wheeliest

Tonight i was riding and noticed a low tick noise, i just did my spark plugs the other night and thought maybe i tightend one to much or one was loose but any way, i pull my tank, pull all my plugs, all of em are fine not to tight, not to loose etc. check oil, its alittle low, add some oil.. start it back up still knockin, like my valves weren't closeing all the way and my piston's were nailin em, so im like **** i gotta ride like 10 miles home, so i start its not so bad, then it just starts getting way worse n worse temp starts rising, so im like ah ****, when i pull the clutch in RPMs would drop Hard core, like milla secound, it was barely running. i make it like 20 feet from my house and plan on shifting into neutral and coasting to my house, i get to 2nd gear n bike shuts off, radiator dumped all the fluids n now bike wont turn over or push start.. anybody need parts from a 89 ninja zx6?

Wheeliest

Tonight i pulled the valve cover and cams n everything looking good from up top. im tryin to figure out how to pull the cam chain off so i can pull the cams n ****... man bike engines are weird compared to cars but im workin with it. im thinking one or two pistons are done for. if any of u have extensive engine smarts n what not and don't mind helping hit me up on AIM or yahoo messenger, i wanna rebuild it low compression so i can turbo it n sell it for a grip. i got a T2 turbo i just need to get some plumbing and a BOV and a few oil lines n wha laa ready to spool. also ima start postin some digital pics of progress hopfully. thanks for the pics and if u guys know anyone with a old kawi in the garage taking up space u know what to do

lol the taxi cab broke.. the valves should be getting tighter not looser if its overhead cam. probably has a spun bearing. but if its seized then it is... im sellin my r1 for 6000 hehe..

Wheeliest

yeah or valve seat fell into the cylinder is what tommy was telling me, tonight i should get top end off to see what happend, just need to pull carbs to get to the cam chain tensioner and that should be it, is they're a way to pull the head with out removeing the cams?, i mean it looks like a ****ing bitch getting the timing chain arround the crank back up to the cams... anybody know what to do

Wheeliest

what are you gonna get? a gsxr 1?, i rode a 04 gsxr 1 the other night, and i can wheelie that thing for miles...

r1jason

no u have to pull the cams off to get the chain off jsut put it at top dead center and make sure the marks are on target and loosen all the bolts that hold the cams evenly.. then pull the head off...

r1jason

no gsxr 1 for me ... im gettin either a 900rr or a 929,954 whichever is in the trader at the time.. but the guy i got the bike from has a polished 900rr that he said he might wanna trade me...

Wheeliest

Yup, Spun bearing #3 cylinder i believe, its like stuck on the crank... everything else looks good, i hope my crank isn't trashed? cause the #3 connecting rod wont spin one bit, and how the hell does the tranny disconnect from the engine, in shafts?... man they'res like 1000 thousand 10mm bolts. thank god for zip lock baggies and a sharpee if ya know what i mean

Wheeliest

man im having some major trouble cracking the case, i don't see any bolts that i might be missing

HavokCycle

uhhhhhh what kind of tick? i just noticed a tick in what sounds like my top end but as far as i can tell the valves are okay..

Wheeliest

yeah i thought a piston was hitting my spark plug...but it was really the #3 Rod bearing twisting apart, it only made the noise under a load or reving..even though ihaven't cracked the case, i can tell the bearing is gone cause the rod has lots of up n down play where it connects to the crank.. god i wish i could get this case apart!

HavokCycle

ah. i seem to only have it at cold idle, thanks tho. best of luck to ya

I had something like that happpen to my 250, and two seadoos. Accually, the seadoo crew I ride with calls "crank buster." You should be able to just take the lower engine core to a shop and have then fix that. See, you can open the case, but you need specail equipment to repair the crank and replace the bearing.

Wheeliest

Actully i don't, cause i know some one who is selling a crank with the rods still connected for my bike.. i just need to buy some new main bearings... and lots of RTV,

Wheeliest

oh yeah i think its a harmonic balencer thing

Dude I am so sorry I wasn't there with you because I would have told you ,,,no MADE you park that thing. I can tell you right now what happened, I will bet good money that the oil pump stopped working.

PLEASE IF YOU EVER HEAR THAT SHUT IT OFF AND DO NOT RESTART!!!

HavokCycle

i thought hondas had the least problems with oil-related problems?
