Rats! This is what happend on November 22 1998
on State Highway 122 between Bedford VA and
Big Island VA when practicing holeshots!

A valve snapped and blew the piston into pieces
and the crank pushed the bits through the upper case!


A "snapped" exhaust valve


The carburator full of aluminum scrap...


...and so was the cylinder head intake.


I found these parts (of a piston) in the exhaust system


The spark plug looks really healthy!


Does this intake valve need an adjustment?


What about the exhaust clearance? ;-)


I think I need a new head...


...or at least "some" polishing! Haaa Haaa!


The wrist pin took some heavy load...


...and the sleeve had a rough time


The connecting rod was bent but still in one piece!


Damn Damn DAMN!
