could i have soft seized the engine from running lean and made the oil ring or one of the other rings go bad?
im probably gonna have to take her all apart again and check the jug and piston and the rings?
and as far as the something bent part, its really not even noticable it was just making a funny sounds once i got past about 20 on my way back home no wierd vibrations or anything. and the bracket from center will only flex about 1mm to the left and right while the wheel is spinning at low rpms.

yeah when mine did that it was my piston rings better off getting new piston if everything else is ok if not that ur head gasket so maybe a new bbk would be all the best thing so if it happens again u have parts thats what i did i blew my valve head and i got a new kit so i have a piston and head gasket and cylender  |

yup sounds familiar... I just discovered the same thing, I froze the 2nd ring into the piston groove. soft seize-lean mixture. I ordered a new set of rings, and also a new piston with rings

Its your rings or head gasket. Both are cheap and relatively easy to fix

ya ive got a local shop ill call them up and see if i cant get the gaskets and rings from them. it just really sucks bc now i have to wait 2 more weeks before i can get these bc i used all my money from the last paycheck. and i would like to verify that something is actually wrong before i go taken her apart again. are there any steps i can go through to actually verify that it is the rings/head gasket that needs to be replaced?

You can verify other ways one is a leak down test. You need a stethoscope and a compression gauge. Or you could just take it a part and look... |
