    Ahh, I'd just wrap a come-along around it and ratchet it up tight. Good to go.

    Now, on youtube, I saw a video where some guys put a 70 shot of NOS on a 3HP Briggs and Stratton....

    it lasted a lot better than this engine. lol..

    yeah, for real, 70 shot... it just sucked it up, blew it out some of the gaskets and kept running.... i'll see if i can find the link.

    ok, well i looked for it, but this one is all i could find... it's funny, though, not as funny as the other one...

    Better get in contact with ARC Racing and get you some custom billet rods made. Then talk to Wiseco about what the best piston would be for that. Then pray that the crankshaft can hold up. I don't see any problem with a V-twin the block takeing that kind of abuse, but I have seen a 5hp (yea right) B&S on a Jr. Dragster blow the jug clean off. :biglaugh: It had a supercharger built out of smog pump from a VW...

    Dayum, that thing is pretty much split right down the middle. I love it when components fail in a spectacular fashion.

    If I had done that...I would somehow figure out how to clean the oil off of it, post it onto a piece of wood or metal, and shellac it all so it would not rust. Then figure out a way to adorn my living room wall with it...

    The wife would just LOVE that :cool:
