rebuild just blew?
I am pretty sure I just spent a year and a half and who knows how many thousand dollars on something that just blew. I was haveing problems before but we got them sorted. Iddeld and ran great. just a little hot start problem. So with 550km on the rebuild driveing like a grandma, today I left my house, started great. ran good for about 2 min. Then a TERRIBLE grinding noise, tons of backfires and power loss. I shut it down right away and towed it home. I dont have a compression tester. But I dont think I need one. When I go to start it, it just back fires and grindes. So I guess its blown. Right? Could have been the OMP, OMP lines? I dont friggin know. any thoughts.

it's possible you havent blown it, but that sure is a symptom of an apex seal that broke....
when my rebuild is complete, i sure as hell wont drive it like a grandma... ill use synthetic oil and premix and drive it slightly above a moderate level

I was dumb, well mabey not dumb. But I wanted to support a new business. Triangels of Fury built it. He gave me a year warenty. I have it in the contract. But that wont help if the guy wont return my calls or e-mails. He lives 3 provences away.
