i removed the oil screen as asked before and it did have some metalic oil on it, however this is my first time ever removing it. but nothing other than that and that was only on the shaft area not on...
Couldn’t it have cleaned up the remainder metal that was left from before?
Why couldn’t it be? There was ALOT of metal shavings before. This time there is NONE just the metallic look in the oil. Nothing was picked up by the magnet.
Finally got to changing the oil, did less than 30 miles on the bike. It looks a little shinny but no actual shavings and nothing picked up with magnet. Just remains of old problem clearing out?178578...
@krakum1967 thanks so much! I am gonna do the Vacuum lines, and ill look into the canister removal.
Okay one little thing @pmk. Figured out to get in reverse to put it in garage without pushing up steep driveway. after i got it inside i noticed some white smoke coming from exhaust. Wasnt super...
Did a short 10 mile run, 6 miles of freeway. Got up to 70 and stayed around 70 everything seemed fine. Only thing I noticed was in low rpms in 1st I heard a tick tick that went with the Roma ONLY...
@freddy Yes but I’m assuming and hoping that it’s from the cams and bearings that were replaced and that most the metal came out and the rest comes out next oil change in a few days-weeks. Currently...
Why would i do that now? It is now starting and running while holding perfect idle. Its just some fine tuning... i dont think a little backfire is worth replacing a whole engine.
Update and concern: I cleaned or tried to clean the exhaust. still had a little smoke but didnt let it run too long because i am hearing something odd. When i pull on the throttle slowly i hear a...
Where does all your bikes temps sit at? I mentioned mine seems to be a bar above half way. Is this normal?
Get me the number if you dont mind and ill see IF i can. Id imagine shipping that thing might be expensive.
I planned on rechanging the oil or at leastr filtering it like you mentioned. I have cleaned out car exausts and whatnot by just running them i didnt know this would be any different but thanks for...
NO CODES, NO LIMP MODE, IT RUNS!!
Bike is now running!!! Still smoking a bit out the tailpipe and from the outside of the pipe, gonna go for a 30 minute ride when i get a chance to try and burn it...
Is there a way to reset the check engine, and limp home mode?
@pmk and everyone else. I Purchased the cylinder leak tester and all seemed well with both cylinders. I then started it and ran it again and smoke started coming out almost after a few moments then I...
I assumed it could be spooge at first but the quickly determined it not to be. i believe its oil and not coolant however i dont know for sure. The leakdown test should tell me once im able to perform...
The problem is no longer coming from the cylinder i repaired but the other cylinder i didnt touch.
Can you elaborate, assume i dont know what the scavenge pump is, and how that could cause the smoke. PLEASE
And how do i test the the pump is working? im assuming by a little bit of google search...
Okay i got the bike running!
UNFORTUNATELY something is ALSO wrong with cylinder one... compression is good, but oil is coming from the exhaust from that cylinder, and smoke. I assume its oil. I...
I’m not 100% sure that there’s no gas. I did think about double checking timing however I installed it with all the lines matching up correctly so I don’t see how I could’ve messed up the timing and...
Very shiny, part of it was clumped together but it was clumped in the aluminum housing so id assume non-magnetic but i didnt check for magnetism unfortunately.
Starts but only on one cylinder.......
Thanks @pegasus1300 that trick saved me some money and worked like a charm.
UPDATE: Sorry everyone i took a pretty long break away from the bike to handle some other things just got back to...
@peter aawen, i think freddys quote seems to be the most likely. because when i looked at the Cam cap again today when cleaning the garage up and organizing, i noticed cracks in 2 more spots that...
Cam shafts seem okey, however the used head i ordered on ebay is complete so it will have everything.
@freddy i was able to retrieve the Tensioner!
@Haikanko The oil was pretty low when i got...
@Freddy i forgot that step unfortunately :(
A piece that was also broken: Camshaft Bearing Cap, is not replaceable as they dont have a part number or a price on any site i have searched. But i...
DONT CALL ME AN IDIOT! But i just realized i removed the cylinder too haha, let me go separate the two and see if i can see damages. On the bright side the rings didnt look good and now the will get...
Managed to get the head off without removing the engine like it says to do in the Manual. Here are some pictures.

Is the piston savable? i see damage but can it be...
@freddy, its stuck in the down position, however it comes up very slightly, point im making is there some movement but not enough to do anything. From the manual i believe its the intake. Why wont it...
