ok heres the deal. Me and my gf went out to the trails by ourself and decided to play in a few mud holes. Well i went down a trail i wasn't too familiar with and the first hole i hit wasn't what i thought it was. Needless to say i went straight to the bottom, the hole was so deep from guys before me with 44s that my front and rear axle hit and my tires were not touching anything. Long story short, my over reving my motor spun two rod beaing and now im having to rebuild. :nono:Not doin that one for a while. I'll try to get some pics soon of my build up. Definatly doin it right and doing the duraspark and new carb. Any suggestions?

I think most of my engine problem was already apparent it just took this to make it worse. ive had a lil knockin in the motor but not once it got warm, just when i got out and changed the oil did i notice that i had no oil pressure after a few mins did i know that i had a major problem with either a rod main or cam bearing. but im already startin to piece together parts that i need and bout to have the heads and block sent off the the macine shop for cleaning and finishing.
