How screwed is my engine? (Obr 30.5cc reed)

I think the cylinder skirt came off on the intake port side of the cylinder..do you think it's safe to run still?

Hey bud welcome
Question is where is the piece ?‍ I would not use the head

 

[Striikar]

Obr sells replacement heads?

I don't know if the skirts are needed, but where the hell did the pieces go?? Probably disintegrated at the bottom of the case all up in the bearings. Gunna need a overhual

I run a engine with a busted skirt. As others have said, beware of remaining bits, but ive had zero issue running mine that way.

Nah, was just a newer head so didnt want to waist it. Figure it was worth the gamble.?

The jug looks fine from the single pic you posted.

Welcome to the forum buddy. Run it till it goes bang then buy more.

The piece snapped off when I was putting the engine back together yrs ago and then I said FCK it and stopped rc until now. Glad other people still run their engines like this. Cylinder looks beautiful otherwise.

Thankfully it wasn't sucked into the crank case lol
