I personally do NOT beleive that they ever tore the head off. If they had they would have discovered this. I mean this thing would have been rattling around. Frank is going to love that pic.

Well, I have just caught this thread, all I can say is "UGLY". As for your dealer helping you out, yes he should be 100% responsible, as for Frank @ ATK having anything in it, I would say he does not have any responsibility here: but if he helps, then kuddos to Frank.
Now, what Frank should learn here: Just because someone is an ATK dealer, doesn't qualify them to work on the cannondale/atk. I have suggested to him already about having a tech school for dealers on the engines. I hope this is a good example of why I would reccomend that.

Keep me posted on your parts list, and I'll get them out to you when Sean is ready for them.

Well, that is all she wrote. I have the crank out and everything else looks good. The oil pumps survived pretty much unscathed. Amazing they didn't get trashed.

Well, guess what......The motor was finally finished!! Actually was about 1 week ago but due to my surgery I couldn't get it installed until know. So Ben comes down to help install it and pick it up.

After a couple hours of assembly she is done. Well, after priming it a couple of times she finally comes to life. Sputtered for a second and died. So, hit the starter button again and she fired right up. Runs great. He runs it up and down the street a little and says he is extremely happy. Says the 450 makes a world of difference. Unfortunatly, I still can't ride because of my surgery. So, I have no idea how it rides.

Well, he is driving back home right now with his HBR moto. :head:

I just think it misses me. Remember to prime it once or twice before you crank it over and keep your thumb off that throttle!!!

Well, you did say you wanted to polish her up. Now is your chance since you are going to have that plastic off. :mad:
