You guys should really be coating your gaskets with some 515 loctite. That will stop 95% of these "blow outs" I typically use it with no gaskets to seal case halves and cylinder to cases.

Thnx!...

I know any leakage in that area & anything below will wreak havoc on the fuel supply an cause the engine to not even
hit a lick!...
