I did forget to put oil in the cylinders.... There has been no smoke out of the exhaust.

Do you remember what happened to the bike just before last Sunday?
Refill, fall over, maintenance, rained over, over-heat, etc.?
Fall over and over heat are two definite possibilities. I don't have confidence in my thermo switch but I do run a second switch straight to the radiator fan....

It seems to me that tearing this engine apart for visual inspection will not tell you much.
At least I can eliminate any engine issues (in theory) when I put my spare engine in. If it starts then that should tell me something. If not then there is still much left to question.
