Easy to follow videos again and good angles for seeing the steps, very much appreciated 👍 The tangs on the rocker arms were a god send when they came in - worked on my pantah 600 and having to remove the rocker arms just for shimming up was a royal PITA
Nellie, thanks for that, very informative. Interesting small puller you're using on the head, is it home made or factory. 👍👍😎 (HOKITIKA STH WESTLAND NZ)
Amazing video, im just wondering, as im about to start rebuildingy bike i just bought, with a timing belt that snapet on the vertical cylinder, im hoping that i can do only with head rebuild? What is your advice and sugestions, its a monster 620s 2003
The amount of damage depends on the speed of the engine at the time, if the engine was only at low RPM it may have only bent valves, (don't try and straighten them) but if the engine was at high RPM it would be a major rebuild. I am a toolmaker and Ducati Monster enthusiast, I have done a major rebuild on my M750 and hotted it up with Hi comp pistons, bigger race valves, flat side race carbs, programable ignition it goes very well. So pull the head and see what the damage is, I would be interested to see, by the way I have 3 Ducati Monsters.
As per the other comment it will depend at what RPM the failure occurred as to the level of damage you will find. If at a high RPM I would advise stripping the whole engine to check it over and make sure there was no damage caused further into the engine. However if you pull the head and see no evidence of contact then you are lucky and may get away with just checking over the head and valves for any possible deformation and then refit and install new belts.
Hi Nellie, great content, thanks for taking the trouble to post, are you taking on new customer engine rebuilds and whats your contact details ? Thanks

Sounds like bevelheads experience if not mistaken
@@xyesman5519 600SL pantah was early belt drive,, although would be nice to work on a bevel
This is worth waiting 🏍️
Glad you enjoyed it 👍😎
love these vids🙂
Thanks for watching 😎

Hi Kris, its a copy of the factory tool, I think I got mine via Laser tools. There are a few copies available on ebay. 😊
Nice video, but where did you get the tools for undoing the nut holding the cam drive pulley on. That went a bit fast.
I made one from a 25 mm hole saw. Ground teeth off and cut slots.
I got a replica holding tool and the socket from ebay
Nice. If worn valve guides, do you replace them and recut the seats on your own?
No, I have the valve guide tools but not the capability to align the valves correctly so would outsource the valve seats to get cut.
