I am happy with the work and post sales support Nick at Nix speed has provided.
Fortunately, it appears that this was caught very quickly. I fished around with a magnet around the head and did not pick up any metal bits. The cam position sensor location is very close to an oil drain from the head so I think that what little that did break off just went straight down to the pan.
He is sending me a racerx cam position sensor to get me back up and running. I'm still not even in double digits for break-in miles, I'm looking forward to racking them up soon here.
Well, when something like this goes wrong so soon after build I always look at the builder. It’s just the way it has to be. Glad he’s there for you.
Glad it doesn’t seem to have wrecked anything!

Thank you! This setup made as high as 382 at the wheels, but we backed it down a bit for safety.
I'm an absolute convert to the ctxona. It spools like my gtx2860r but it makes soooo much more power. I'm over a 100whp more than my last setup
at the same boost pressure. The drivability is superior in every way.
It appears that I'm going to have to install a bigger fuel pump to do the ethanol tune correctly. I'm going to also up the fuel feed line to 6an flexible PTFE hose and run a 10 micron microglass fuel filter.
I am really hoping to get that done before winter, but time is not on my side in Kansas City. It's beautiful now... but fall never gracefully ages out here. It goes from very pleasant to freezing on some random night and it stays that way for 4 months straight.

Thanks! This thing is really fun to drive. I'm just happy the speed finally matches the looks.
It's still a 2L but it is 9.5:1 CR. It's about 22ish psi on the E10 tune.

Car update: 1k miles in on the new motor and the car's running really well. There is a ticking sound coming from the head on cold startups, so I need to pull the valve cover off this winter and check the cam//shim clearances. NBD though.
I did a winter oil change a couple weeks back and switched to synthetic (finally). It feels good to be here. I'm looking forward to getting that oil analysis back from blackstone labs.
I didn't get a chance to do the fuel tank and new fuel lines to run the e85, but I hope to get that done sometime in the spring. The car feels really nice on the e10 tune though, so it's not as pressing to run e85 as I had originally thought. That, and I've found some other ways to get some speed in. Not only does it also have a Yamaha head, but it's even a 20 valve! How neat is that. It's a nice smoother change of pace after being on an sv650 this year.

If that happens with my car, it is usally the exhaust header starting to leak...

Nice Bike! We were planning on using that engine in our FSAE car. Did not go through...so rare
