You got critters crawling down the engine again don't yah?
So on to plan C, or is it D?

 

and that killed the motor? or were you lucky (like sun shining out your *** crack lucky) and you blew an apex and thats all it did?

i havnt blown up enough engines to know exactly whats going on here.. nice port tho.

 

Looks like the sealant in the water jacket gave way.

 

The housing COLLAPSED - it is actually .002-.003" thinner right there. The crack is from the collapsing, and the indentation is another result.

The engine ran fine right up to the point where I took it apart.

Yes, on to Plan C or D or whatever plan I'm up to now.

So to recap: Not only is a weirdo P-port like I did extremely time-consuming, but the housings won't survive it either. The engine still ran and made good compression, mind you, but I dunno the long-term results (would it get worse? would it chunk apart 200 miles from home?).

Plan... whatever is a half bridge. The P-port kicked ***, and I do not regret one bit doing it. It proved everything I wanted it to prove. But, I think a half-bridge would better serve my wide-varied purposes, and besides, I just want to do one, just like I wanted to do a P-port.
