  7. So for all my 848 riders out there. What’s the compression supposed to be so when I order my used engine I can do a compression check before I install
     
  8. You want to head to West Cork rather than the city - much more beautiful :upyeah:

  9. You might be better off starting a thread in the 848 section or Technical help if not done do already, probably get a faster response from those in the know. HTH
     
  10. Welcome and enjoy. Sorry about the motor, hope you are back up and running soon!

  11. Well got the bike mostly stripped down and ready to pull the engine. Drained the oil and a ton of metal shavings came out so it’s beyond done. Now onto the engine Easter egg hunt. Will keep y’all updated as I go

  13. So ill be ripping the engine apart to day to see what exactly caused the catastrophic engine failure. In turn if anyone need engine parts let me know and I’ll let you know if it’s good or not, seeing is how I’m replacing the entire power plant and transmission I won’t be using the parts from my blown engine
     
  14. Welcome dude
     
  15. Thanks for the welcome. Wish it was under better circumstances tho lol
     
  16. Afternoon... sorry about your motor going pop what happened...

  19. welcome troy, I'd politely suggest a new rebuild thread in the 848 section. Which will drum up more views & precise information' ..and clean that camera lens!

  20. Ya I plan on it when I get the engine taken apart, and as for the camera Len ya cleaning won’t help. Dropped my phone off the bike once and that’s the result
