Yea the conrod decided it wanted out and proceded to smash everything in its path, holes in both sides of the block, bottom of the block smashed inlet manifold parts of engine casing were in the carburettor and cylinder 1

Oil feed problem?

Or if using premix, not mixed......?

 

Saw the same result on a Benelli 250, many years ago. I take it that piston has been 'spot welded' into the cylinder head.

 

Must have been lucky not to have holed the hull with all that flying metal.

You strike me as a black nail varnish man Chris! :p

 

That looks like it let go pretty badly, was there any warning before hand or noises?
