Guys, this thread is about my engine. Kevin rebuilt it about 1800 miles ago, a sudden BANG, you know that means disaster. I called Kevin, he could not believe the engine could break a 3mm apex seal this quick. At around the same time, he happened to be working on his 'vert (he had rebuilt it and installed pineapple sleeves at about the same time he worked on mine), so he mentioned a problem he noticed; the sleeves had moved out of place. Could this be what happened to mine? No doubt about it!
