what's back? info please

His warrior, he had an issue where for some reason it was jumping time and bending an exhaust valve. I can make a short vid of the exhaust valve that was in the head I got from him. The head dont roll straight and you can lightly see where it made contact.

What was the final cause?

Now that's a good question^ I'd imagine that a timing chain would have to be super loose so either the chain was worn out or the tensioner was stuck or somethin like that I bet.

the first time it bent an exhaust valve idk what caused that. i had not touch the motor except to tighten the two bolts for the cam cover. the second head i was told the keyway broke off and caused the cam gear to jump and that is what loosened the bolt for the cam gear. when it jumped timing i bent both valves, 98 i had her torqued right but she came loose after the keyway broke off, huge relief for my ego lol. i ended up taking her to our local shop and said i want it done right and a warranty 400 and 15 dollars later i got 5 hours of labor, new valves, retainers, guides, new float needle, and new gasket set. and she runs like a champ now. i ll get over there later today and get some goode pics once i wash her off from last lol
