serpentracer Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 thanks alot guys for all the input and offers to help me out, so far i talked to rueben at 35motorsports and he does have an 06 engine with 900 miles on it wants 1500 for it and 350 to swap my motor and instal that one not bad price. but its gonna be really hard to come up with that kinda loot..but he was the first to call he sounds like a great guy and knows his stuff..and by you all recomending him thats a bonus..if i cant find something local and cheaper then i guess rueben will be my go to guy. just wish he wasnt 2.5 hours away..just don't let him work on your suspension....I know someone with a horrible experience..I won't go into details but put it this way, it was a major waste of money and time....and now he is out of a brand new shock....

SAMBUSA Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I think you may be jumping the gun a little prematurely with giving up or getting a new motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FocusDave01 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I think you may be jumping the gun a little prematurely with giving up or getting a new motor.yeah thats why im meeting up with gixxie later and he wants to see my bike and check it out and see what wrong with it himself, hes more than welcome to ride it and do what he has to do seems as long as you dont high rom it the oil stays in the motor, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InyaAzz Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Look, get a diagnosis of what is wrong before you write her off. Know EXACTLY what the problem is and what it will cost to fix it before swapping the engine out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be something as simple as the shop did a valve adjustment and didnt get the valve cover back on right. That's why I told you to clean the motor with engine degreaser(get ALL the oil off of it) and then start the motor and use the spray foot powder to find the oil leak.

01929rr Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 hell if it were me i would take it to a shop like say miami cycle works in cincinnati or cycle specialties and have them look at it for like 50 bucks to make sure its not something simple and if it does end up being a junk motor buy that one for 900 and well get it put in for you! i have plenty of tools and jacks and junk and putting a motor in a bike is a pretty simple task just my 2 cents. also if you need a quick loan and have no credit go to citi finiancial they will give anyone a loan they helped me build my credit up real fast just make sure you pay it off before the percentage rates kill you.

If that is the case, you are dead wrong about several things and I would check my facts before you start offering you opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FocusDave01 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 well after meeting up with gixxie and dave, we went back to gixxies house and started the tear down process. what we know so far is the bike i not losing power, seems to have good compression, now we think it might be valve seals. there was alot of oil in atleast 2 out of 4 of them. and we also found out someone has been in that motor before. so the bike is on its way to being torn down more soon as gixxie gets ahold of some r6 guys. i said hell with it and just left it there. i want to thank gixxie for helping someone he barely knows and bob for runnin me home lol. so its in the works guys thanks again for all the tips, its just a puzzle atm that just will take a lil time to solve.:grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyen Soljax Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Who's this guy you speak of? Sounds shady...+1, i would go to reuben in a heartbeat if i need serviced like he does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 so its in the works guys thanks again for all the tips, its just a puzzle atm that just will take a lil time to solve.:grin:I know it's hard...just be patient. Sounds like you are on the right track. Props to those helping you out. That's what this forum should be about..gay sex. Oops I meant brotherhood.

gixxie750 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 It was great to meet you today Dave. I deff think the oil is getting in the cyl via valve seals. The bike looks dam near new and it seems to have a leaking clutch cover also and from the looks of it ,it has been removed b4 for some reason. The motor runs strong and deff seems like the problem is in the head. The valves were super dirty for a bike with so low miles. I have the bike in my garage so if anyone has suggestions on where or what to look at let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Combustion pressure leaking from cylinders at high rpm, into the crankcase or oil galleries/head. Pressure accumulates like a pump, and pushes oil into the combustion chambers at high rpms. I wonder if it were to ride around with the oil fill cap off or loosened up, it might not smoke. It might whistle like a tea kettle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 it does smoke at lower RPM's but barely. U know the clutch cover is leaking too so maybe its being forced out there too??? I will put it together and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 If that much pressure built up, it would leak past everything. Rings, seals, gaskets. And that would account for the very large sudden usage of oil. It's very weird having so much oil go away so fast. I think it would take high pressure in the wrong places to get it going away so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 just put her back together and took the cap off and left the crank case hose off and it was still smokin. The fill hole didnt seem to have that much pressure on it. It had white smoke this time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FocusDave01 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 wow gixxie and recon your guys sound like scientists crankin away at a bike motor. yeah gixxie thanks a ton man for all the help it was great to have met you and dave and your girl and man trust with all the help your doin for me with this bike i def owe ya when u have time and we both arent working we can play scientists all we want lol dont want you to have to stop from your projects for me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Well, that shot that idea then... time to think of something else. although the point was, does it have pressure on the crankcase at higher rpms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FocusDave01 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 ive got my feelers out as well in the R6 forum just for some more advice if we can get it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
