im about done with this motor.
I've put two top ends in it in less than a year. the first one was a total rebuild supposedly that Honda put in and it lasted 2engine hours before it started rattling (timing chain) so i took it back to Honda and they gave me the run around about it saying the whole top end was shot. so i picked it up in peices because i didn't even want them to touch it again. so i put a top end in it myself and it lasted three rides before it started smoking. pulled it down and the cylinder looks like it has been in the motor for years and its not like i put a used cylinder in it it was a fresh big bore from alba.
im thinking the oil system isn't working or something. is there a way to check it. i know its getting oil to the head but im thinking the oil jet in the case is an issue. also the crank feels tight. but is there a way to check that in the motor?
