Hey Adrian, how goes it buddy. Talking of broken motors - my 7 Port has expired
The wrist pin clip either broke or popped out and got caught in the exhaust port before travelling the full length of the bore whilst attached to the side of the piston - arrghhhhhh Was checking buggy over the other day and noticed a distinct lack of compression in the motor (no wonder !!). Strip down revealled a big gouge in the piston and sleeve. So it's a rebuild coming up. I think it was my fault, as I recently replaced the rod and maybe didn't seat the clip properly. Darn this failing eyesight as you get older An expensive but well learned lesson. It's a real bummer as the motor had just done 2 gallons and was really starting to scream at the last ARCCC meeting.
Lucky I have my MMods Stage 5 5 Port to break in, which eases the pain considerably It sounds nasty even after only 3 tanks
