Mike, you say it ran for a "bit", how long is that?



Probably slipped/jammed the chain when rotating.

You say that you can rotate it by hand. It that all the way around and several times? I would take the spark plugs out and rotate while watching the pistons with a small flashlight through the spark plug hole an see if there's anything in there. I would also watch the movement of the tappets to look and see if there is anything different going on.

In a pinch people have been know to make them out of cereal boxes and similar items. I have a template of all my gaskets made up out of a Digorno Pizza box. Yep I mangled the spelling. But it seems to be decent enough for the job. But I prefer Honda gaskets on the rear. I trust them more.



Someone else. Maybe Phil suggested large manila envelopes.

Did you end up with 37 bb's or just throw them out before counting?

Lets just hope that was the only one.
