After taking the old engine apart again I found out why it died on the highway.
There was one piece of connecting rod still sitting up in the engine when I put it back together on the trail.
Once we got going down the highway it vibrated out of it's spot and the crank caught it and threw it into the engine block and cracked the cyl wall.
the coolant mixed in the oil and that was it. :cry:
If I had seen that one piece It might still have made it home under it's own power. :bang:
Well thats it, :thumbup: see you Guys at the next one. :wave:

I don't think so, Jessie has that look covered with his Beast.
I just have to move the intake up and away from the front.
the air box was modified for water but the whole box went under water past the air cleaner, so there was no chance of survival on that one.
