I think I detonated my engine...

[loneRider91]

Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum and also a new rider. I purchased my 2000 GZ250 a couple weeks ago. I made a very bad judgement error when checking my oil level before making a 70 mile trip to see a friend. The engine shut off a couple miles from my destination and wouldn't start. I got the bike back home and quickly realized that the engine was seized. So after reading up on this particular problem I decided to dive on in and first thing I did was remove the spark plug.. In doing so this story turned tragic because the first thing I noticed was an unusual amount of difficulty removing the spark plug. When I finally got the spark plug removed I noticed that the end of the spark plug had been smashed. I haven't gone any farther than this because I am pondering on weather it is worth my time to complete disassemble the engine to attempt and rebuild it or if I should just count my losses and sell it. So basically, what are the odds that the only thing that has gone wrong here is the piston hitting the spark plug?


Thanks in advance,
JP
