What's wrong with my intake valves? (pics)

Skippii · July 30th, 2012, 11:15 PM

My Ninja's intake valves don't look too good. Sorry I've got a smudge on my camera lens, but you can see it looks like one of my bike's valves is all bent and has chips all around it.

Is this something I should do myself or have a bike shop fix it?

Heat it up and bend it back, shouldn't be a problem

Just cover it in rhinoliner.

Looks bent to me. And a little swollen.

Well what did everyone think "250" meant? It's a 250 cubic foot engine.

Don't fix it.....get a new one. It'll always be weak.

Not quite that large...I believe this is from a a 117-liter engine (7,000 cubic inches, ~4 cubic feet)

I want that, how much are you asking?

jasle · August 5th, 2012, 10:34 AM

how much for the bent valve? Super cool piece in the shop conversation...what broke to let the piston hit the valve? gotta have one hell of a timing chain. I would almost suspect direct gear driven. don't know a ton about those turbo diesels though.

Forget the valve, I'll take that awesome dump truck to fill my entire back yard!! I've always liked those things

Something fishy is going on in this thread but I can't quite place my finger on it. *scratches chin*

My dad worked at Cordero Mine in WY for about 17 years. I got to see the aftermath of some interesting accidents involving these trucks during that time. Someone lost control of one on a ramp and laid it on its side. Someone else backed over a company pickup with one. They're big mean machines, unless it's icy or muddy, at which time they become completely helpless. They're not much fun to handle when they're overloaded either.
