Perhaps he dropped the cam chain and it's bound up in the bottom of the engine??

Yeah I see that now but if he removed the Jug wouldn't the cam have to come out?

Oh goody... lol sounds like fun. is the 250EX the same way? it's a longitudally mounted engine too. I have to do a topend on one the kid sank it and they got it running again but now it smokes like a freight train, I pretty sure he washed out the rings.
