If you want people to help you here, you need to tell them everything.

You also tryed finishing the mains with a stripped 2nd gear, now that can't be good for a rod?
Don't start bashing a company and there motor because of your stupidity and lack of maintance! If you had ran any other motor company like what you just did, the results would have been the same!
Loose carb? Any ONE of these 3 things would have caused your motor to go lean, but you had All 3!!! ROOKIE!!!

first off, I never bashed Mugen. You guys have been helpful to me. I came on here to look for help to see if anyone knew where I could buy replacement parts. So maintence is no issue. The gasket wasnt that bad first off. I think the carb. would have a greater effect on the engine than a gasket. As for stripped gears that one problem with the car that needs attention. I never ran 3 Mains on a stripped 2nd gear. I ran 1 main like that with the stock ninja, & another main with stripped 2nd gear, but that was with your engine Harry. Obviously you didn't have a problem with that when it happened. When gears would strip in a qual. I always took the car off the track. You know how many times I stripped gears so its hard not to keep running because you haven't had the chance to really run at all. As for the Tuned engine it was a brand new engine. It was running fine at 230F like I said before, but the carb. came loose. I'm not the only one that its happened to so I'm not saying anything different from anyone else. I'm not here to argue on these forums. I'm here to find out solutions to problems I'm having with the car & what places have stock for these engines.
