If it works without spending a fortune i would be very surprised but he was well shafted by a ebayer seller.

Is there something wrong  
This is what happens folks if you don't do regular oil changes the camshafts are hollow and because the oil has cooked the oil passages have blocked and the exhaust camshaft has run dry resulting in it snapping in half   we're hoping the valves arn't bent but further investigation will reveal that   
He also has no comeback apart from going to Halifax and beating the seller half  to death because he paid instant bank cash transfer and had the car delivered  stupid I know but we live and learn

Bit of a harsh lesson

  its not Dave its a shame cos he works bloody hard on minimum wage and took out a bank loan to get the car I have given him a good chunk of money to help him through this because it was the last straw in a long string of bad luck and just to put the boot in while he was putting his bike away (Kawasaki zx10) its rolled off the side stand and hit the deck. ruptured the fuel tank snapped the clutch lever and snapped the side panel, can it get any worse.       anyway to end on a bright note it didn't rain today

Believe me it took an awful lot to stop him, he does have bit of a short temper and as much as I agree with everyone's sentiments it really wouldn't do him any good dealing with the consequences of his actions or maybe I just think to much

Never seen one that bad. Can't beleive some people (say people, but people like this are lower than whale shit) would sell something this bad without telling the buyer.

Just to conclude this thread spent a lot of my annual leave helping strip and rebuild the top end cleaned out the valve cover replaced the broken exhaust camshaft, caps, spray cover and tappets. Because all the tappets moved freely and the valve stems looked in line and my brothers lack of money against my and probably your better judgement didn't do a full strip down  
Anyway built it back up turned it 2 full 360 revolutions by hand off the crank and nothing felt wrong.   So dropped the oil changed filter and put some semi 10w40 in with some flushing oil liberated from Haveugot1 (thanks Mark) then fired her up,,,,,,,purred like a kitten   ran on fast idle for 20 mins dropped the oil out and changed it again. We decided to take it for a short spin round the block......good power and smooth gearchange    next up the duel carriageway about a 4 mile run, about 3 miles in the engine limp mode comes on and a loud banging from the engine, no power and ground to a halt    anyway 4 hours later    the RAC recover us back home, we think a oil way might have become blocked and seized the camshaft again   and that's it he's had it with cars and its going for scrap  
The moral of this long story (sorry) is service your bikes/cars regularly and never buy a vehicle unseen, but that's just common sense, isn't it...............?
