biggest 2100CD ON EARTH

At least it ran long enough to know that the basic recipe works. Now just to beef up the weak link/links.

Well the autopsy is complete. The crank survived, the cylinder survived without a mark (those two parts have the most machine work done). The rod just sort of seperated at the small end and took a straight shot through the case and oil tank, I was just sure it would have been the big end, I never thought about beefing the little side up.

I do have everything I need to give it another shot, though I will be cutting it close for the race in two weeks. The worst part is that SOB was REALLY cutting good. Now I know what a heart attack feels like.


I am gonna go cry in my beer now

Call Pankl....they make the worlds finest connecting rods!!!

Romeo, if it makes you feel any better I've had three drinks for you now....... and I'm drinking Wild Turkey so you should be starting to feel a little better.

Just wondering if 2100 #2 with a beefier rod is coming together?

Since this level of work is far out of my league, my only suggestion is to get it on video next time! I was really wanting to see that thing cut. Just thinking of one of those on the mill....

My big problem was the last four cuts I made with it. I already had it tuned and I should have left well enough alone. There would have been video on it exploding at the show, it would have been a real crowd pleaser.

Not to mention most likely EMT personnel just in case... ---> :help:
