I blew one on my FG last weekend, I put grey gasket seal on my rampage...the way to go...no leaky..so shall do same on the fg...they always leak on the boltless side...maybe I need a torque wrench! nah I'll hack it and use the goo and torque til it feels right:D
 
You have to admit, he IS funny......remember always torque ONLY 2 corners of a square.....someone should tell Zenoah to go to a 4 bolt design to eliminate blow-outs......awww crap, they already did :eek:
 
You can be a anal torque slut all you want but in the long run it don't matter. Two bolts will blow gaskets. End of story. I don't worry about gaskets. I worry about this happening again...

AWESOME, now that's a great catastrophic failure :D You got more? How did that happen anyways? Did it snap when you overtorqued it? :D


WOW, is that a split in the cylinder head too? (middle left)

Yeah, being a boat guy I was always weary of a "hydraulic" failure........boat flips, injests water and explodes. I guess water and air compress differently......I would have never known gases and liquids were different :D if it weren't for chemistry, physics, yada yada yada

That's "was" an ONB hellafied 28.5 that was running on a Jetpro V3. Was screaming across a field and BLAM! The con road broke at the crank. I guess the piston slammed into the top of the head and busted it too. The only thing that kept the top from popping like a cork was the roll cage and the pipe.
 
NICE, we are all so very proud of you :D It would seem that there is not one single person here who babies their rigs. YOU sir are definitely on the thrashing podium :cool:
