Oof, there's some nice little chips of piston there round the valve edges and seats

How come the valves dropped? Springs broken?

Ouch.
Don't remember everything.
But I thought you bought the bike from a mate who said it was running ?
All you needed was a starter motor???
Time to fit a zx6 engine perhaps
(They will fit )

Aye that was the original reason I was told it didn't start. But turns out it was this.
We are going for a complete engine rebuild due to the amount of work.and extras this bike has had. My mechanic says it has all the right bits to easily be a front runner in respective championship so we are going for a restoration as it will cost the same as a used engine that we know nothing about.

This bike was a race bike. But has been used as a rusty banger track bike for a while.. And probably missed services and the upkeep it needed.

We are going to upgrade the brakes to GSXR600 calipers.
Re dyno the engine once repaired.

Exciting stuff

They are the standard forks but with Matris fork cartridge internals. Currently bidding on Zx6r complete front end though fingers crossed
