Soooooo, There I was trouble shooting compression issue's and used the light test "which passed" and then the couple drops of oil which corrected compression......Yeah, problem solved :D So, I thought. Gave it one more crank for good measure and ............what the hell was that. Upon further investigation I found my cam chain tensioner failed #$^*(&%$#%$%^%$$ not only that, it threw my timing off, not only that it bent ALL four valves. :icon_eek: :mad: :cry:. So now I wait for a $%^T load of parts to come in. Lets start with valves. Anyone have 4 for sale. :dunno_black: Thanks in advance.

That's just bad luck man. Are the pistons damaged at all? Also, if money's not an issue Bikebandit carries both the intake and exhaust valves, although the total will be almost $200 shipped.
