Engine teardown





Well out came the engine and it was time to tear it down. I sat on one side, Panayiotis sat on the other side of the cylinders and we started taking the exhaust out. Out came the generator and the cooling tin. We took the cylinder heads off and started laughing. Well what had happened was that the camshaft had broken and one of the pistons was pounding away on the exhaust valve! The piston broke, so did a part of the cylinder barrel .. NICE!. Well from all that pounding the head of the valve broke off and went into the crankase.. (game over). I split the case just to take some good pictures...
