Completely Destroyed or Fixable?
Long story short, I didnt change the damn cam chain tensioner when it started goin til like two months later. She got to the point where she sounded horrific, so i stopped riding and got a new tensioner, put it on, but she still sounds like this: http://www.sharenow.com/base/content/54121/ (I start her up at second 18 of this video)
I changed the oil filter, oil and fuel filter about a week before the engine started sounding like this as well.
She's now been sitting for about two months, I've not tried to start her since.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

First questions ..
Did she sound that bad just before you changed the tensioner ?
Did changing it make it worse or better ?
Does she blow any smoke at all ?
When you changed the oil , did you check the old oil for bits of your engine ?
not good mate ..
May have broken a guide as well ?

sounds like metal on metal, definatly not good. drain the oil and see whats in it. if theres metal, check color and if its magnetic or not.
hard to tell in the clip, is all the noise is in the head? the valve cover isn't too hard to remove. pop it off and see whats inside.
