The last pic is my swingarm after I got it off

How did you manage to braek your swing arm like that?

Riding on the ragged edge for a few days

That's what happens when you bring a knife to a gun fight.

Lmao! But my knife started everytime!

Here's some more helmet cam footage. Some of the mx track at the end. I think the swingarm actually started to break on the last jump in this video

Awesome, nice photos! I would love to get to the event sometime in the future. I'm getting married soon. Once things slow down I hope to get back into the riding routine.

Well I finally got my motor apart this weekend after a couple of weekends of having a millon things to do. Tim was right and the cam caps were loose. It dug into the head pretty bad and dropped a valve while it was idleing. Two of the other three valves had one retainer half way out. I will send the head to Tim and see if it's salvagable, but I doubt it....

That is why I will never work on someone else's motor with a stiff timeline. I should make it my own rule as well.....

I hear you. I was in a hurry the other day. Was checking valve clearance, valves were too loose. I knew what shim I had in there, then I had my brain backwards I thought I knew what shim I needed. Put the shim in with out double checking. Put the motor back in started it and thought to myself, hmm doesn't sound quite right, whatever went in the house hoped in the shower then it dawned on me. I went the wrong way with the shim and on top of that I was looking at the exhaust settings page, while I was shimming the intake. Took the motor back out and the intake was somewhere around .021".
