That's because you've never "Used a Ford diesel 7.3 to pull start it." LOL
Just simply, you should have leak tested it before you pulled it apart, to find out where the air leak was that could have caused the carnage.
If you had taken any advice from anyone, it should have been to leak test, many, many posts ago.
It may have avoided the engine crapping the bed!

I agree a FULL rebuild is in order. You are looking at 200 - 400 dollars and a good solid weekend. If you think you can do it we will help. Otherwise I would suggest you sell the bike and get another one. You could also send it to a builder and have it done professionally.

I totally agree. I bet 90% of us have gotten ride-itis. Despite what advice we were given we went ahead and rode when it wasn't ready. I know there is a lot of frustration dealing with this bike. But i bet money the kid learned a lesson. Remington I'll help ya out under 2 conditions.
1. You listen to all advice and instructions given.
2. Put on a damn shirt!
In all fairness we tried to get him to test the engine prior to running it. Said it over and over and over but too stubborn to buy the $30 tool to save spending $310 on a new jug, piston, head PLUS crank bearings now, gaskets the whole nine yards. hes looking at an easy $500+ now when a bad crank seal, or gasket could have had hime ripping up the trails.
Good for you. I'm gonna help him. If you are too butt hurt then stay off this topic. I'll help him alone.
because you didnt listen??
he would be pro, if he would do what we tell him to doremington is 14 years old
