Never seen the hair net solution, I'll give it a try, thanks.
My oldest daughter, 15, rolled her KFX450R on the elevator shaft, tricky.
I've raced at Barnwell Mtn twice, fun place, can be tough on equipment. It's full of iron ore rocks that break easily, but don't cut tires. The red dust is bad, gets into everything, engine included. Can be steep in places with tough rocky elevation changes and sandy bottoms.
What am I looking for on the cam and journals? My daughter floated a valve on this motor last fall, broke the valve head off, punched 4 holes in the top of the piston before the engine locked up...over rev. Sent the engine to a shop in Pa that had some experience with these engines in quads. Very happy with the power, was told it was built to very tight tolerances on the piston to bore and titanium valve springs with much higher tension. Valve springs may be eating my Hot Cams cam.
No one else, engine builder included, has done any UOAs on this engine when built and raced. I'm gonna hold the course for now, but through the summer I'll use some other oils to see. I want to stay thin if I can, I have some Maxima 530MX on deck for this engine.
