PING.....Madmike
Just wondering how things were coming? What did you find in the motor? I hope it wasnt too bad and you can get that thing back on the track real soon.

Yep! Bent a damn valve, LOL... I know it is not funny but man all I can do is smile and Thank God!!!! it didnt break off when I was doing my 180mph fly bye at my friends house the day before!!! ok just imagine what that would have looked like... OUCH! oh I had 500 miles on the bike before I did anything, and my gut told me something sounded strange but I listened to other people and not my gut! TFA, if anything needs to listen to their guts! big mistake, but No problem, I will just fix it and be back at it soon! Every cloud has a silver lineing, and Im almost breaking through that cloud soon, hell maybe someone will hit my Jeep LOL... right entropy!

Mike,
You are one lucky guy... Good thing that valve "got bent" when it did. You figure the set up was off or something???
Your plan on sustaining damage to your Jeep is a solid one. Its pretty easy to snare a tailgater, and if you don't mind a few dents in the Jeep, there is major money to be made  One hit & run and now I have a billet crank; I just need another one for the Muzzy wet shot.

I'm not really sure what happened? it looks like the valve clip(ring thingy) gave away? or when I put it together the shim was not alligned correctly(my fault! doh!!!) but I really can not tell? to many parts in little parts, but like I said before I said a little prayer and thanked God, for not letting that thing break off and do any real damage, this is more of a hurt my pride damage, and I'm getting off very cheap for everything considering how much a new engine would be, and on the really bright side I havent had to buy any clutch's lately, LOL...
MM
I will post a picture of the Valve tonight,,,
