Broken Cylinder

[CoreyLKN]

What exactly would cause a cylinder to break like this?

Ive never seen a cylinder break on both sides like this what did. :261:

What pipe are you running? I see aftermarket head in pic.

This is why you need to run a girdle kit.
Did the sleeves get hurt?

[CoreyLKN]

Type 4 factory pipe

The sleeves survived!

 

[Talsivar]

my guess would be the vibration from the type 4 without a girdle head.

Skip the head and buy a DASA cylinder from Brian aka SB Products here on the boards! See my signature line. Besides, a girdled head adds weight, a DASA cylinder adds power and does not need a girdled head!

Always remember young grasshopper-u get what u pay for! Feb 08 I took 3 months worth of work and busted it ALL out in 96 hours STRAIGHT to have my Lamey built. It just all depends on how bad you want it! Where there is a will-there is a way! (or where there is a gil-there is a way)lol

True! but im not sure i need to buy a DASA cylinder right now. Im pretty sure a 61x cylinder and ADA head will work for now. (atleast i hope):fingersx:

[CoreyLKN]

HAHAHA no kicking in the balls!

My ski will definitly be running by then!!! I need to get rolling.. :barrel:

Sorry to hear about your cylinder. Definitely need a girdled head on a stock cylinder if you are running an aftermarket pipe.

Sorry to hear about your deal.

Let me know if you change your mind about our cylinder.

Do you mind if I ask? I do not mean to imply a lax servicing of your engine.

Where all the bolts torqued down recently?
If I keep my bolts torqued, will the cylinder still be at serious risk?

I know threads do relax from the load.

Thanks
