Don't panic, its not an SV lump SV ;)


Ruddy 2-strokes!!! :mad: =; :lol:

Re: I've blown up yet another engine!! :(
 

Ah, spray that with a bit of WD40 and it'll be fine. Remember to let it soak in overnight.

Re: I've blown up yet another engine!! :(
 

2-strokes are rubbish, just find a big enough skip and haul the whole damn thing in there and walk away.

wow.. how not to do it!!!...:grouphug: so sorry to hear this I hope you manage to sort it out soon

Re: I've blown up yet another engine!! :(
 

Its ok, I got another 4 engines!! ... needless to say I have got through a few already!! :D

A new piston is ~£50. I can clean the rest up with a bit of time, emery cloth and a dremel type thing ... a and it'll be good to go 8) ... to be honest I probably won't repair it, I am trying to run down my stock of engines anyway!! :D

Not catasrophic at all ;-) Has it eaten big end bearing or what?

What engine?

Re: I've blown up yet another engine!! :(
 

I think the crown/top of the ring land broke off ... at 18,000rpm, it doesn't take long to make that sort of mess ;)

It is/was one of my kart engines 8) RIP Parilla !! :D
