Mike called me up today to give me the good news on the engine. The good news is that only the rear head, piston, and barrel are total screwed. And here is why... it seems that an airbox tab came loose and got eaten up by the rear pot. Yay! A simple lesson, do not leave an unfitted fastener. If we'd had a dzus fastener in place it the entire tab could not have come away.

Unfortunately for us the tab was made of lovely soft plastic from the airbox which got munched up, leaving only this Dzus clip to pound the crap out of the rear cylinder. A total disaster.

Still it could have been worse. Now off to find a 800M rear cylinder head/barrel and piston!
