Terribly disappointing day!
A nearly new 5B... as in 1 1/4 tanks of fuel and without getting into the crappy details, it has a blown cylinder gasket.
Is there a tutorial or video on how to replace this? It looks obvious enough. I am just wondering if I can get away with removing the head (4 bolts), sliding the cylinder off the piston, putting the new gasket in place, then fitting the head back on the engine?
What are the implications to the engine and it's life? It has had one break in tank of fuel run through it. I then switched to the oil/fuel mixture I was planning on running in the vehicle and a 1/4 tank today and this issue has occurred.
