Injectors are firing properly (human error, pulled the plug just below the front sprocket and forgot to reattach it) oddly enough i attempted the download of the 9888 map, engine turned several times, but didnt fully start, so just out of curiosity i downloaded the daytona 955 map, 9894, bike started up immediately, so freaking happy....until it dead stopped. this has happened a few times now while running the engine idle for any longer than 10-15 minutes. There is a terrible knocking noise in the top end of the engine, i noticed this when the engine was first installed but thought nothing of it, but heres what im thinking--
When i opened the lid for the head i noticed there was not a whole lot of oil in the head, got me thinking that maybe the oil in there is remaining from the person i got the engine from and in fact the oil pump is no longer opperating properly and is not cirrculating oil into the head, which is where the knocking is coming from. If the head has low oil levels in it will it knock baddly? Moving forward in my train of thought, the engine runs for roughly 10-15 minutes (knocking the entire time) If no oil is cirrculating because the oil pump is bad would the pistons get so hot that they actually "freeze up" while in motion and cut the bike off? I have removed the oil pump from the old 1998 daytona engine which i know opperates correctly and i am in the process of removing the sprint engines oil pump, is there a way to remove this pump without dropping the engine?
btw DEcosse, i dont believe this is an aftermarket exhaust, im also not sure what the stock one looks like, there is no name on the exhaust (ie: two brothers, yoshi, ect.) the can is all carbon fiber material...also there is a nameplate on the pipe that says "NOT FOR ROAD USE" kinda thought that was funny when i read it, lol
