The Halls Of Destruction
C27,
Is that piston a WWE "special"? I was just talking to Wistech about that exact scenario the other night. Everyone was blaming wrist pin failures. I have stated since day one the previous issues were from too thin of a wrist pin boss (due to over massaging of the area to remove weight). They were not made that way, they were purposely ground down after manufacture. I guess the factory heat treat is out the window with that, huh?

Piston was simular but different.The gap was huge between the rod so a special rod had to be made to take up the clearance to fill up the gap or would've been an instant wrist pin snapper.Piston was also heavier than other ones which might have also contributed to breaking.Piston was very simular to the wwe but there were other differences.I do believe that the wwe was probably an improved version of this one.Hopefully this will be the end of Patric's spell of bad luck and will be up and going again soon.
..Plz let it be the end..LOL...After this build it will be the last of my spare parts..lol..
I did take the head apart today,3 valves were bent . I was just thinking how many times iv been into this motor,lost track after 5 times. It's sad really,but when a man loves something he loves it ..lol.
Tim will get me going again and we'll see what happens. O Tim and thanks for the sensor I got it yesterday,tho it was shiped on Dec 21. Tim one of theses days I'm going to fly out there and see whats up,then we'll see what that 495 is really made of . I just hope the prices of flights go down.

No,No Please Don't touch my quads your luck might just rub off on me!!!lol Just kidding.Welcome to ride them anytime.Had my share of mishaps early on the 1st couple years from dropped valves and know what your going through, but like you some reason just wanted to ride them more. Mine have been treating me good the past 2 years and hopefully the trend will continue.I think they have to test us to see if we're worthy to ride them.Lol.Maybe sometime we'll get to hook up at a group ride somewhere.
