duuuudddeee....that thing looks mintttttt.lol. Hope you get it fixed!

trd20 · 10-30-2009, 08:00 PM

just throw some duct tape in there, should run like new again

JJW Designs · 10-30-2009, 08:21 PM

When you fully seize and engine like that, it puts a lot of stress on the crank, and it will never be as strong as it was BEFORE the engine failure. Sometimes they're weakened to only 30% of their original strength, but can look fine.

I wouldn't risk it.

Save that piston... and make a necklace outta it. lol

xlxrman · 10-30-2009, 08:26 PM

What's a new piston and jug cost, Terry?

xlxrman · 10-30-2009, 08:27 PM

I think I will just put it back together and TRY not to rev as much. Valve float is the only thing I can think of that would cause this.

Double0 · 10-30-2009, 08:57 PM

hmmmmmm that will defff buff out

xlxrman · 10-30-2009, 09:41 PM

She'll be rippin soon, thanks to Terry at FPM!!!

firepower354 · 10-30-2009, 09:48 PM

We'll get things rolling

See if you can check runout on the crank before reassembly, too.

xlxrman · 10-30-2009, 09:49 PM

How? LOL. I'll be using a new TB crank that I got from ya, awhile ago.

firepower354 · 10-30-2009, 09:50 PM

Ohhhh. Nevermind.

DGAF MATTY 420 · 10-30-2009, 10:00 PM

briansX19haulsass · 10-30-2009, 10:54 PM

fmfracertccra · 10-30-2009, 11:38 PM

Forget about checking the oil? Looks like ya ran it dry and **** started to melt..

xlxrman · 10-30-2009, 11:43 PM

Nope. Had correct amount of oil.

fmfracertccra · 10-30-2009, 11:50 PM

Well must have leaked out or ports got cloged cuz you were starving for oil and when that happened stuffmelted and when it did that's when the piston hit the valve and all he'll broke lose

fmfracertccra · 10-30-2009, 11:53 PM

Oh and if you had mud all around your head and it can't disapate heat it will over heat that way to.... Also is that a china motor? If so there ticking time bombs..

nemec · 10-31-2009, 04:44 AM

The same **** happened to me few days ago... I was waiting for new piston and jug for one month and then valve broke in first 10min of riding...

Anyway it didn't make such a mess in there but it pierced the piston and wrecked the head. Here are some pics:

@xlxrman: So your TB kit so longer for sale?

xlxrman · 10-31-2009, 09:18 AM

No. I am using the head and crank.

LongMooie · 10-31-2009, 10:45 AM
