Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I'm not a happy camper...

Don't worry, atleast i know where the clip is lol.




This is the side it came out of.






This is the only damage to the head, i would say its still good.


And the scored cylinder.






So there's the pictures for your viewing pleasure. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it yet, but fixing that is not going to be cheap.

remeber, never reuse wrist pin clips...
and dont fool your self and say that you bent them back out! LOL
aloha
D

yeah, i got a cylinder and piston sitting in front of my tv that is the same way.

its one of those things that when it happens, your just plain screwed.

I don't really remember, but i'm thinking it was either straight up or straight down. I had put around 50-60 miles on it since i did the top end rebuild though.

Oh shoot. I just rebuilt reusing the clips. "Danger is my middle name"

yeah, i always reuse clips.

funny thing is, when this happen to me, they where new clips i put in it. And it didnt come out till like 300 miles since the rebuild.

And this is what happens when you don't mix enough oil with a bore kit and the top of the piston melts and blows out around the rings:

had that happen to me once, after i put my spree on ebay, last day it was up, i started it to drive it a bit, and the clip came out ( brand new one ) and so i used a aero top end to make it work.
