This 2007 zx6r came to me to me not running and with what seemed to be a seized engine. The owner said that he was riding along on the freeway when the engine lost power and suddenly shut off. After dissassembly, it was apparent that a faulty cam chain guide had clogged the oil pickup and starved the engine of oil, resulting in two bad rods and both camshafts welding themselves into the cylinder head. After replacing all the crankshaft, connecting rods, their respective bearings, and the cylinder head it was as good as new!
