EAGLE SHAKE DOWN RUN

[dwilfong]

Not much damage broke on the stand.

Chunk of the billet piston skirt broke off.

Last one in the box.

Got one stock one left will let it rip at Melbourne then I am done.

Lite the fuse and see how long it burns.

Will use the pipe from hell and go out with a bang.

Believe me it will be hauling ass for the last time and it will not be a glitch on the logger.

Had some Picco's years ago that hit the crank web ABDC and did that...

If there's a ding in the piece of the skirt that broke off that's it fur shur.

On the Picco's it hit the crank web on the inside of the skirt only, I used to back cut it at a 45* angle for clearance, no more problems!

I don't think it hit any thing more than enough clearnce at any point.

The first piston cracked up the side of the skirt all the way to the crown.

This material is very hard. not sure what it is Scott would have to answer that . But I think he said he got it from Holland.

I skirted the piston it must have created a point at the transition for a crack to start.

Done Wasting my time and money chasing my tail.
