That tanks the buisness al looks well after being sprayed mate, pity it'll not allow the use of standard carb set up, should have got them cut out at both sides.

Sorry to see that its broke bazman... I would totally agree with your diagnosis... the squared off damage to the exhaust port is a classic end result of a dropped ring peg when the open end of the ring spins round to gouge at the port ... Was it the Banshee piston or Vertex that was in there..??

i agree, this is typical for a moved ring after dropping the pin

would be interested in the cylinder btw...pm me if you gonna sell it

Hi it was the vertex piston, think i recall they have a new piston now after talking to my engine builder few weeks back, did start me thinking why change?
Going to get in touch with af to see what they say.....
