I had the misfortune to sieze my engine during a race in Utah. I believe the camshaft journal on the timing side is friction welded (due to lack of oil?). The engine was so hot when it slowed and stopped that the solder on the points melted.
I have removed the cylinder head cover and the tach side cover and only one rocker arm pin. There is substantial evidence of severe overheating. The engine crank and cam cannot be rotated at all. Of course, they are connected by the cam chain. The cam is in a position to depress one valve on each side so there is considerable pressure on the whole system.
I wonder if anyone has dealt with problem previously and what the solution might be to proceed with disassembly.
