yamaha 540 srv (535cc)
My engine finally arrived. It looks to be complete except the engine shroud and oil tank. I bought the manual for it in pdf form if anyone needs it. Its large so I can put it on a web/ftp site for download. Now what? lol. Do I need to pull the heads off to inspect? The guy said it was running but we all know how that goes. Can i bypass the oil injection and just mix the oil in the gas? I would assume that i need to do something to the oil pump to keep it from operating if i do bypass. Need an exhaust pipe for it to if anyone has one for sale for a good price. Thanks
Update:
Pulled the heads off and one of the pistons had dropped a compression ring and broke pieces of the piston off. The head has nicks in it but the cylinder walls look fine. I find it hard to believe that this engine ran without a compression ring on the piston. I hate dishonest people.
