You got the 450 running again yet mate?

[k14]

Nope, still a work in progress. Going to be very touch and go, I have no experience with engine assembly so progress is slow but steady. Hopefully I can get the cases together tomorrow and put back in bike frame on monday.

Standard valves but not sure why that is relevant? All the valves were fine.

sorry dude i meant retainers.

Yep standard retainers too, all of them were brand new (well 1 meeting old). None failed though. Valve clearances were all spot on.

[FROSTY]

had something similar happen when I 450'd the zxr. The standard valves stretched then clipped the piston.Just wondered if maybnee yours did the same thing.

There's a good chap.
