thanks man....

so do i need a new motor now? i didnt tear it open yet wating for my piston i ordered like a week ago(figures). do you think my bottom end will be f***** up? or jsut the top end? i hope i dont need a new motor........

OMG, that looks pretty bad, if it was mine I would have a look all the way through engine and tranny.

i'd pull the motor all the way apart and clean and inspect every thing. you're cylender is goingto need to be bored or replaced. since your going to have it apart and if you got the money i would put some powroll parts in the motor.

im working on the head now got the rocker cap off just going into the head and everything soon.

damn dude ive seen motor locked up that didnt have that much crap in the oil sorry looks like some work to do

[vartiak15]

its not a ring cuz it is aluminum... does this mean its fromt he bottom end?

[kilabeez0]

so it was still running with that crap in there???

[timex69]

my guess is that its either been in their for a while if the engine locked up before you owned hte trike n it never got cleaned out or its from the bottom end. it would not or barely run if it blew a ring. it would either smoke like a biatch or it would have no compression. If those sound like your symtoms it will need a rebuild. When a piston ring does go like that you should check and see why it went. If it was from just wear/tear or mabe you have a lazy/broken oil pump, or just not enough oil. I worked on a big red 1 time and the oil pump would circulate enough oil thru the motor when it idled but when you went driving their would not be enough oil circulating. its b etter to check everything and rebuild 1nce then just rebuild it n blow it up again.

do you have any plans for the engine performance wise(oversized piston etc)or is it stock?

i think its that shim bearing that goes on the lower rod!
