I have no idea exactly what happened. I had just put the carbs back on, I had also cleaned the rave valves, was running on trailer for a quick test, engine sounded better than it had since I got it a few months ago. I had brought rpm up to about 4500, rpm would make a jump to 5000, I figure the raves opened then. Let idle a min and brought back up, I was looking at the tach when it made strange noise and something hit my finger, engine then running very strange. Pulled lanyard, looked around, saw a small piece of metal, think I am gonna need a new engine. Will get it out in a week or two and check damage. Where is best place for engine, SBT, SES or someone else, I may even check with the folks on here that have used parts and see what they may have that they feel good about. Well gotta go help set up for a party tonight, my birthday, several other birthdays and wedding anniversaries, we are calling it a corner party, it is on a vacant lot owned by the person hosting. Be back later.
