Timing chain broke. This is a scope of the top of the pistons. What am I looking at here?
Read postI'm late to the party but in case you didn't order the cylinder head, I have rocker arms with adjuster screws and locknuts.

Buy at least 2..My man!! I think I only need one set right? Send me a price please! This will go a long way to finding out how bad this is.
That’s a good, insightful question!I'm curious if the broken chain has detectable wear. Can you measure some representative lengths (stretched out) and see how they compare to the service limit of 161.5mm for a 20 link length?
I shall do so. My measurements may be in inches. Depends if the tape measure has mm on there.I'm curious if the broken chain has detectable wear. Can you measure some representative lengths (stretched out) and see how they compare to the service limit of 161.5mm for a 20 link length?
That's quite likely. The tensioner is a ratcheting design, and when it's removed (or even loosened), it has to be fully removed, retracted, reinstalled, and then released per the manual procedure. If that procedure wasn't followed, then it's likely the tensioner extended when it was removed, and then was too tight on reinstallation, causing the guide and chain failure.Here's the skinny. The tensioner was removed to replace the alternator. I suspect, according to the nice manual I'm using, that it was reinstalled incorrectly. This caused the chain guide to disintegrate. Pieces got between the chain and gears. Snapped the chain. That's what I'm going with. Sound plausible?
How's that happen? I know how to kill the spider gears. I proved that as a teenager.Can't win for losing. Broke the Axel in my blazer
More repairs. Got the change out completed. Back to normal.
If the engine was in gear, the engine continued to turn until you pulled in the clutch.The break happened at around 50 mph. Died instantly.
Possible to do a leak down if he orientates the cams correctly, but difficult to do until he installs a timing chain.Could he pull the cams and do a leak down test? If losing air check for crankcase , exhaust or intakes?
OOps...I mentioned pull the cams
There was no 2007 model year Concours. 2006 was the last year of the ZG1000-A (Concours 1000, aka C10), and there was a 1-year gap before the ZG1400 (Concours 1400 aka C14) was released as a 2008 model year.Will the heads to a 2007 fit a 2002 C10? eBay says no.
StaschCan you guys point me to the right USED head for this bike? C10 2002 1000
This would fit - to point mentioned earlier you really need to make certain you are not receiving some mix / match of parts, not by someone purposely trying to fraud you but just unaware.Does this fit??
