[QUOTE="cjpayne, post: 175412, member: 7183"] From what I saw when the valve caps came off, there was no contamination. I guess when the bike was shut off, the loose stuff flooded over to the left side when the bike was put on its stand and leaned over, then started back up again later, which would explain the junk on the inside of the cam cover. I think the oil screen did its job, but was just simply overwhelmed. Since its possible, I'll try not to remove the piston from the bore. Shouldn't be that hard, just have to careful when cleaning the oil passages out and from behind the piston. I'm sure about the clutch cover passages being infected too. I bet everything is. Even the clutch will need to come completely apart I'm sure. As for the head, Kevin did say that as soon as he noticed the ticking from the head, he immediately shut it off and then later called me about it. Kinda crossing my fingers about the cam journals, as this engine does have the original head E7-6(six in a circle) and I want it saved. [/QUOTE]
