it only goes on one wayIve studied this more now. If you put the cam in the bottom saddle it is firm to turn. If you put the top saddle on it and just press together it locks up solid. So this could definitely lock the motor up like it did. Explains the slow labored turning of the motor by the started after also. The oil galleys are clear so this appers to be the problem. A KTM enige builder said he had one do it too. He said since the motor was dry from me rinsing all the oil out it could take up to two minutes for the oil to get there to do its job.So Im responsible by not lubing or getting the oil up there by cranking for extended period before firing the bike. Its under $300 for all the parts new and less if I can get the cam cleaned up.
