  1. so it's the bottom end that seized, nothing timing related

    after the cams went in I ended up having a bad seal on the intake cam gear seal and I lost 4.5 quarts of oil. Didn't realize it until I was pulling back in and the oil light was flickering. Pretty sure I toasted my bearings

    it is what it is, getting the Saffron ready for Carlisle and just taking a car home every night until it's fixed

    So wait you put it all back together and immediately took it for a drive?

    When you do things like that you start the car, let it warm up as you look for leaks and issues.

    If all is well you take it around the block (not beating on it) bring it back and check everything over.

    I guarantee if you did any of that you would have seen the leaking cam seal.

    But now you know for next time.......

  2. Lmao...

    Trust me i know how finally doing something could make a huge difference. I never changed the plug in #4 on the ZX12 cause you have to drop the motor. The other 3 always came out clean so I wasnt worried.. then I had to do the timing chain, changed that plug and holy shit the bike felt new again.

    you think the ride is better now you should look at the Ohlins kit for it...
