hi everyone long time lurker and reader of this site. i have a 441 that i've been working on its blown up twice in short order, second time about 15 seconds. Now i've been using the very cheap cylinders and pistons from fleabay,but still think they should last longer than 15 seconds. It looks like the rings are breaking and get wedged in exhaust port. Yesterday it broke the top of the piston off. i checked the intake boot and it is good shape. nothing in my no so good eyes jumps out at me. Can a connecting rod get bent on these? it was a very sudden stop yesterday. i would send pictures but dont think i can with no posts. Also now you know why I am only lurking on here by my typing skills and abuse of the english language. This little paragragh took 15 minutes.
