i might be out racing for a while happened at a bad time but ever since wilburns my bike has been acting messed up runs like crap.. i was getting ready to get my c-locks on today and my bike would barely run 20mph wide open parked it got off of it reved it up trying to clear it out and it blew oil from the front cyclinder all the way up to the top of the air box.. now im trying to figure out wtf im gonna do if its not hurt really bad its still has to have an oil leak which means i gotta pull it out so i might as well have it built so it will be probably next season untill i can race if this is the case ill let you all know and im sorry about this boot i hate to let the team down but if its bad i cannot get it fixed that fast the wife would be up my butt majorly if i just drop 2k on a motor rebuild...

Might just be a blown head gasket, may not be the fix you want in the end, but shouldn't be all that bad to just replace the top end gaskets. (Head, intake, & exhaust) Just as long as the piston and cylinder wall isn't in bad shape, I'd just put gaskets on it till your financially ready to do the built motor.

Hopefully it is nothing too major. Good luck

No need to tell me sorry....last time I check I was not paying anyone to race... It happens...I understand....crap...just do what you can. I hope its nothing BAD....keep us up to date...If you wanna race some when I can't....come get mine.

thats what im hoping put im hoping that the gasket changes is not hard to do is my big thing if i have to pull the motor or remove over half my bike to change out the gaskets im just gonna go ahead and build it no sense in doing it again if you ask me..

Don't think you should have to pull the motor to get to the heads, but everything on top of it plastics, tank, etc, will most likely have to be removed. But once you get the heads off, be sure to check the pistons and cylinder walls to make sure a total rebuild is not needed. The hardest thing at that point would be turning the motor over manually. I don't think you'll have too much trouble, just take it one step at a time.

i know to change the cams you have to pull all the front plastic off airbox.....and it IS A PAIN...hope you have SMALL hands becuase it was a pain for me to do mine and i have small hands lol....it would prolly be easier to pull the motor! i hope its just something simple..good ludk

Justin...its not too bad on the IRS models....the SRA ones are aggravating...things are turned different ....

thanks for the info guys.. smiley and drew very helpfull thanks... i will check soon just been very busy at work and wife this weekend im busy too so who knows when i will be able to fix it... boot im not gonna be there for the pikeville race now..

no prob jk if ya need anything holler back at us!

shall do drew ill have to hit you up when im getting ready to tear it apart honestly whats your opinion would you go ahead and put some goodies in it since you have to pull the cyclinder anyway??? i have a set of cyclinders here i could send off and get the 840's for probably around 400.00 which isnt bad then all i would need is a good set of cams to go with them... i heard messing with cam's is not alot of fun though...

Go with Web Cams....Trust me...

umm just to check the head gasket you will not have to pull the jug off...web cams are a + i agree with boot on that one there are alot of people who run webs......that only hard part about taking the head off is keepin the motor in time, just installin cams is no biggie what so ever, i had mine in abour 3 hours, just have to make sure your at top dead center and all your timing marks are lined up, but if you drop your timing chain and it comes off the timing gear you will have to dig deep into the motor and would be a major PITA!!!!!! but more than likely if your head gasket was blowed or goin bad you will have coolant in your oil..as for as the 840 HECK YEA that would be BA...but if you havent messed with engines that much i would take it to somebody who has just to insure the timing is right bc if its out + or - one tooth it will run like crap or will burn really lean and burn it up, but if its out real bad you will bend valves knock holes in your piston or bend your connectin rods.....
