Default Saito 100 - Rolled it into the ground

Snapped APC 14x8. Is there anything I should look for as far as damage. Seems to turn over fine.

Thx

If it turns over OK, that means the shaft hasn't been pushed back, which is good.

Check to see if the compression is still OK, or it binds when you turn it over. Also do a visual check of everything, to see if any damage is apparent, including the push rod tubes.

I would suggest you see if the valve clearances have changed, which might point to a bent push rod or something.

Other than that, make sure there is no dirt in the intake, and you should be OK.
