Stuck valve bucket?

Stuck valve bucket?

Bought this 06 YZ250f had a snapped timing chain. Fresh rebuilt top end bike has strong compression but why did the chain snap? At first I thought maybe they over tightened the timing chain.

Recently when installing a new chain. The exhaust cam feels fine but intake doesn’t it gets stuck when bolted w cam cap.

And bike is locked when chain is on, took chain off bike isnt locked so it’s clearly an issue w the valves or cam. I’m leaning toward just replacing the head as a whole as look at the scoring.

Reason im posting on here is cause the valve shim bucket (middle intake) is stuck won’t come off w a magnet nor fingers.

Never had this happen w any bike what would be the reason it’d be stuck? I’ve tried wiggling going fast w magnet nothing. All other buckets pop off just fine btw.

How to approach a girl?

Make this short cause im cringing typing this.

Long story short almost three years ago Whataburger cashier very pretty girl I liked her the second I saw her. Wasn’t just looks she kinda seemed shy and polite and idk why I like that in girls.

Anyways im the same way so I didn’t approach, but I told my buddy and he offered to get her instagram for me.

His words: “she smiled and gave it to me”
Later that night I followed her and she followed back I at the time and probably still am. Am terrible at texting or at least to girls I think I struggle to show emotion over a phone. I made jokes and what not but we never got far.

My buddy’s thought they could get her and at the time, and she rejected them (not at same time this was separate weeks)

Time went by and she ended up getting a BF and I was very happy for her. I ended up focusing on my business and the gym. Her BF unfortunately cheated on her. And two years later now im still doing my business and I see her very often at the gym.

Now I have approached once as a kind gesture I give bible bracelets she said thanks and I walked away.

Now you can call me delusional but I’ve never actually been wrong when I think a girl is interested. It’s just the ones I actually like that I can’t get the balls to talk to.

Stuff I notice not like im putting all my attention on her when im lifting but yes I do be tryna get her to see me😭 w a pump(iykyk)

She glances at me but not in a obv way and I notice she’ll pick a treadmill not to close but like two away when there are plenty of other w no one near. Idk about yall but I dont like walking next to ppl if I don’t have to.
(I seem delusional right?)
I don’t know her know her but I know that she doesn’t care for guys. (Her friends word) which only makes me like her more lol
I don’t care for girls either but I have interest in her and I glance when she isn’t looking and try to walk near her.

also I have been told im hard to approach from males and females. Im 6’3 187lbs and don’t rlly talk unless spoken to.

If I had a clear sign she was interested id approach like maybe a smile but problem is I dont hold eye contact I just glance so maybe if I smile not like crazy one but slight and she does to? Idk

As you can tell, I don’t speak to people let alone women as I don’t see the benefit at my age. I’m more focused on my future than a relationship. But I really like this girl and have for almost 3 years now kinda crazy. and little weird. I know id regret not trying and regection seems better then regret.

Advice as I haven’t approached a girl since like high school😂

I was thinking something small like coffee or maybe church 🤷‍♂️ or can do the easy way and just follow her again… im 19 btw

No spark

06 Sportster 1200
Bought this bike it did run off of jumping it. Sat for abt a week had wiring issues turned out to be a pinched ign wire.
cranks over fine getting gas I can see it getting sucked.

But when testing both plugs for spark I got nothing.
The ign box is getting voltage for sure seems like it’s not getting signaled to spark?

Assuming it’s the crank position sensor ordered a new one but is there anything else I should check as I wait?
