tear into the head. im doing it now for that F3. the tapping i have is from weak valve springs since i upped the cams. it may be somehting small causing the motor not to turn over. if it wont turn over on starter how about using the crank shaft bolt? when my bike had ticking i torn into it and found a bent valve, spring retainer messed up. so before you go shopping for a new motor tear into it. it may be something very simple. ---

WELL … when it came down it started the loud taping… then knocking… then locked up… im going to tear into it… but not till i at least get my turbosix running… ive been lazy lately… i found a wrecked zx6r with 2700m for cheap… might by it and swap motor’s…
