that's what the dealer said is the gear probably spun that's why he sent them out I guess, said he tore the head all apart and put back together and said all looked good besides rossiers national porting, said it looked like someone took a chisel to it

Is the dealer equipped to check valves and seats for run out and be able to do a high pressure leak down test on the bench.  Most dealers are not equipped with anything more than a lapping stick and hand operated Neway seat cutters.

If you cannot find anyone that is properly equipped in your area send it to us and we can check it out. 

We have all of the expensive equipment for 4 stroke head work.  We replace seats, guides, cut contoured and or multi-angle valve seats.  We also do a lot or porting and cut the heads and combustion chambers for larger valves.

LT 500 and LT 250s are not the only engines that we know how to get a lot of power from.

Where are you located? If you need that head straightened out I can help you. How do your valve seats look?

I would doubt that you have any problems with the cams, unless they didn't weld the sprockets to the camshaft and they spun. I believe the are a press fit then you weld them after you set your camshaft degree. If they did spin it would have bent the valves. The valves need to be pulled and checked with a dial indicator.  2c

I believe some of those dealer mechanics shouldn't even work on lawn mowers.

id say bent valve as well, prob an ex valve, I just put a transmission in an 2007 ltr. I thought it was fairly simple to do the engine, but getin engine out of chassis was a B!@CH

Did you have the valves  re shimmed .My friends trx 450r wouldn't run after he done a rebuild to a 500 big bore and stage 2 hotcams. He had wrong shims under the valve and the valve wouldn't close. Hope this helps

good luck, ltr motor themselves are to difficult to work, most problems come from dirty fuel systems issues or a weak battery.

forgot to mention that the decompressor is on the exh cam and is bolted in place to the center of the cam.

the ltr comp release is a simple design. if you check it, just make sure the spring returns it to the resting position when you rotate it. not a common fail point.
 i would check your valve timing, set piston to TDC, exh cam should be set with the timing marks at 9 and 12 oclock, intake cam should be at 12 and 3 o clock. cam chain should have 15 pins between both 12 o clock timing marks. the exh cam lobes should be pointing around 10 o clock and the intake lobes at 2 o clock.
connect a spark plug tester inline with the plug and wire to visually verify juice getting to the plug.
check the ignition fuse next to the battery, 10a or 15a i believe.
to check fuel, you can pull the injector out and try to start motor, you should see a fine mist of fuel come out. if it dripples, then its dirty.
also, some times the battery will have enough juice to crack the motor but not enough to fire up the fuel injection system and the motor will crank but not start, make sure battery is good.

I don't know either theres a little decompression arm in there that's in sync with the cams

Comp release can't be disabled? I'm not sure, never worked on the LTR.

how do you do a compression check on a 4 stroke when it has its own release lever? and next thing will be a leak down test but very odd it was running fine the whole day then found out it had the stretched timing chain and had th head and valves and piston checked right away and nothing wrong there. and still starts up like theres no compression now

Bent valve. Do a leakdown test. TDC and shoot air down the plug hole and I'm willing to bet you going to hear air hissing in the exhaust. Also listen in the intake and crankcase for air hissing.

So I have a 2006 LTR just paid to have  the top end redone got it back rode it for whole day no problems. hauled it home went to start it to run into garage and no start acted like battery was dead turned over real hard so i tried pull starting it had it in high gear and still locked tires up pull starting so I parked it took valve cover off to find out timing chain was stretched and jumped a few teeth. so I put new timing chain in had head checked and piston checked and nothing wrong put back together and turns over like theres no spark plug in it and has a slight little pop through exhaust. someone told me the web cams in it are noted to spin the gears on the cam shaft but idk?
