well it does happen
I had a happy time motor and I rebuilt it and must have made a mistake, when I put the spring clip in on to hold the wrist pin. About five miles out and bang-rip my engine seized. Turns out that it ate the spring clip. the wrist pin was still in good shape though. The cylinder wall was toast and the cylinder was not that much better.
I did learn how to rebuild that motor pretty good though. and my other rebuild has been holding together OK. With these motors it is a bit like attaching any item to a paint shaker. If it might brake or fall off it will.
Meanwhile there fun to run and pretty quick. I am rebuilding mine now(engine mount failure) Beside my two cycle looks better that the four cycle.(in my humble opinion).
