OK so I hate to revive a very old thread but maybe others are dealing with a similar problem. It has been almost 2 years since I got this bike and I'm just now getting around to working on it again so here I am. It was very discouraging to open up the engine and find the rockers badly worn, journals destroyed and camshaft damage. Someone must have run it with no oil...
Anyway, I have now bought a parts bike, took the head off and found a camshaft in good condition along with the rockers and head cover.
Question is, what would you guys do in this case? Would you try to swap the camshaft, rockers, and head cover out and run it like that or go further and replace the entire top end of the engine, or would you swap in a completely different engine? Also, I couldn't find a good walk through on removing the camshaft, do you have to get a special tool and remove the clutch or?
Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
