got it, then were able to drive 300 miles before the valve kissed the piston. so im here looking for a new engine :sour:
 
Welcome, thats a horrible way to start your ownership.

I would be guessing at what caused it. But I expect poor prior maintenance could have been a factor.

Were the shims ever checked for wear in the service book?

thanks! yeah, i would think valve guides maye, with full throttle only 20-30 percent power, like a limiter.
 
No telling then.
Can't think of any similar cases coming to light on here so its not endemic with this engine type.

I hope it was cheap. I assume a private sale as you're not talking about returning it.
