Well had not had the Sparesbrook out in a while, decided to drain old gas & refresh with new & go on a ride.
Well I got a nice ride in, but I noticed at the very end of ride, the engine had a different exhaust tone & would not idle.
So I decided to start it again, & adjust the carb a bit. The old Sparesbrook just wouldn't stay idling, & with the new exhaust tone it had, I decided to remove the cylinder head.
Oh God! 3078miles!!! She let the ghost loose.
Not sure what beat my race head & piston up.
I'm betting piston ring locating pin.
What's your thoughts? Piston ring locating pin or wrist pin bearing? Other?
