today when i was practicing for my upcoming harescramble, i was about an hour into my practice and i started losing power and all of a sudden to thing just shut down.....so i pulled out the kick starter and it was hard as a rock, so i was like d*mnit!

Got it to the shop to tare it down and saw that the spark plug wasnt all the way seated in the head so i un screwed it and aluminum shavings fell out. I got to looking at my piston and the piston had completely fell apart in the cylinder. now i need a new sleeve,piston,and rings.

I figured that since i have all of this apart i shopuld go ahead and put the 240 kit in it, but then if i do that i couldnt race the AMA races i have planned.

The only thing that sucks about the big bore kit is that they build too much heat for an air cooled.
