not even vaugely inthe same league of devistation as the mighty AJS suffered, but my old girl went bang on the last lap on the pre 70, sounded way rattly a few time and till it terminated in the last lap of the last race..... then stopped , no comp when i tried to restart it....

Pulled it apart the other night, looks like the ring snapped and went for a bounce around, not sure what startedit but maybe got tight in the groove and twisted.

I think I've worked out what happened-he left the plug in the pipe-course that'd do it!!

The piston let go at the gudgon pin, its broken in half and it looks like the top half of the engine is OK - no bent valves just a re - sleeve and all goo. At least some good news!

JP Pistons Im sure have a good excuse why their product let go and Im sure  ::) it wont be their fault at all.......
