    Diagnosis:
    Broken Valve spring resulting in a bent valve and pushrod...

    Well looks like I'll get to know my bike better :-)

    Thinking about boaring her out, any thought?
    Maybe a new cam?

    Has anyone had this happen? if so, what did you do?

    I've completely rebuilt my rear cylinder twice now.

    At first it was gasket change. Then i accidentilly swapped the pushrods and bent the exhaust pushrod, breaking the pushrod cover and damaging my intake valve.

    GOOD TIMES!

    Hopefully you wont make bonehead mistakes like I did.

    Might actually give the 88 a try... Ill drop the dime when i find out for sure. Whats a good place to get performance quality parts such as valves, valve springs, and push rods?

    What kind of exhaust should i go with?

    Basically, if you had a completely clean slate, what would you do with yours?
