Pretty serious problem though, gotta admit. I beat mine mercilessly, 30k miles, hundreds of passes, not even a hiccup. Did they come up with a reason for the failure?

So the pic that's on Facebook with the bent con-rod, that's the culprit? And they haven't figured out why it bent? Any damage to the top of the piston?
