Well then…

I bought this weird minibike over the weekend to keep myself busy as there hasn’t been much buick work going on over here, and boy did this thing fly, until I didn’t just seize it..I BLEW it up. Figured some of you would enjoy

 

Sudden unintended disassembly!

Kidding me ….. love it !!!

 

Managed to get the crank out, all plans of “let’s rebuild it!” from my father are out the window, you can see where the rod had tried to exit the block, officially my 5th blown engine! hopefully this weekend I’ll find a motor and go from there.

 

Well done young man. That's impressive.

 

Cool looking mini-bike. Great for the pits at track.
Catastrophic failure, time for a new power plant....of your choice

 

I’ve seen a good few failures and boy I’ve caused a few, I got two days worth of riding at least!

 

If you're gonna do it, to it right! You did!

 

They always go fastest right before they blow up

 

I believe I clocked 40, floating the valves, went home shut it off, went to move it and it just went boom

 

3D print the parts you need... LOL

 

Yep that's the truth!

 

head is off and the motor (was) surprisingly was healthy, as it’s a 2002 model it has seen better days, surprisingly no dropped valves or bent valves,

 

Right on LOL!

 

"If you're gonna do it, do it right!"
You succeeded!

 

That bike really does have a cool vibe! I just sold a really nice Ruttman.
KID

 

that thing looks beautiful! whats the engine? briggs?

 

Looks like it will polish out.
