Big smoke, big oil mess, big problem! Advice/confirmation..

Ok, so parts are on route, civilian ignition from EI, gaskets and seals (plus a couple wiper blades) from SAV and piston/cylinder from Pinzgauer Canada. Boy, do I know how to spread out the love!

[stiffler4444]

Picking up my parts today, should be running by Sunday if all goes as planned!

Of course, due to Canada Post sorting error, I am now looking for a missing piston and Cylinder. What fun....

[stiffler4444]

Everything in hand now, leaving work early today to get at it. Hopefully running by days end.....

[stiffler4444]

OK, so cause of all this has been identified. We got the piston and Cylinder installed. Cylinder #1 back in place. Now time to reinstall the head. But wait....there are two small fractures just above the plug hole. Sure enough, we attempt to thread the plug and it simply spins in place. My mechanics theory is that the plug backed out, air entered the cylinder and leaned out the gas mixture to the point of "kaboom"!!! Anyway, sounds about right as the piston detonation lines directly up with the spark plug opening.

Sadly, now I'm waiting on a replacement head.

Ohhhhh please upload pics. I would love to see what that head looks like. I have a similar thing happen to my TW200... except someone down shifted at too high a speed and over revved it and bent up a valve and trashed the head... not related at all but I feel your pain of having a junk head.

[stiffler4444]

Will post up pics for sure. I too feel your pain!

Hope you are using E.I. gasket kit as it has everything. SAV kit lacks a lot of parts.................................

I did purchase gaskets from SAV, but not the full kit, I picked out the gaskets I needed for the job....hope I got everything....

New (used) head has arrived and I should be putting it in tomorrow sometime. Getting closer. I'll have to reformat my pics, as they are too large to post up, but once I do, I'll show off all the damage.

Can't wait to see it! Hopefully she get's running soon!

[stiffler4444]

Long story short, she is now running great ! Thanks to all who have been watching and offering words of encouragement . Will post up a link to pics as soon as I can.
