no man...it was a metal to metal grinding sound, something ive NEVER heard before. I dont think it dropped a seat or a valve, since it turned over somewhat freely after the incident...somewhat meaning it made complete revolutions after, but with some huge resistance it seemed like (friction) which led me to believe its something with the bearings.
I am going to take it down tomorrow I think (i'm off from work) and look and see what's going on...I'll talk to my dad tomorrow as well, see if I can at least shelve it somewhere till I figure out what I want to do.
Between wanting to move out, get a car to drive and keep the 914 somewhere else, i'm spread pretty thin
