2007 zx-14 motor fail @13k miles
hey everyone I just joined the forum, I have a 2007 special edition zx-14 and while riding my motor randomly blew a hole in the block from cylinder 3 failing..the bike only has 13 k on it so that was a little surprising but anyways..motor will be out tonight and we will start the rebuild. were looking to build a motor to safely take 15-20lbs from a turbo but only want to run 10ish lbs...anyone have hints on where to look or have built a similar setup and know where to find parts?

So we got into the motor and found that the nut on the connecting rod backed out on cylinder #3 causing the kaboom.. quiet a bit of damage..looks like I'll need oil pan/and upper(possibly lower case also) crank/ rods/ pistons... or see if I can find a motor built for boost already

Dammit. Talk about a catastrophic failure. That blows!!
My 06 Red just turned 150,000k old . She's been the best machine of any kind i have ever owned.

Doubt the nut came off first. more likely the rod bearing spun, opened a gap and the smacking on the big end stretched opening and the bolt enough to then leave the nut loose. Then it might have turned the rest of the way off. Chances are you already needed a rod and a crank before there was a hole in the case. 
Note: case halves are machined as a unit and sold as set. No way to reliably mix 'n' match.
