Consumer Description

THE ENGINE EXPERIENCED A CYLINDER FAILURE IN THE #5 CYLINDER. THE #5 PISTON 'CLIPPED' A VALVE, THE VALVE DROPPED INTO THE CYLINDER, THE PISTON IMPACTED THE VALVE AND CAUSED THE #5 PISTON ROD TO BREAK LOOSE COMPLETELY AND PUNCH A HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE ENGINE CORE. THERE WERE ALSO CRACKS IN THE #5 CYLINDER WALL. I HAD TO PURCHASE A COMPLETELY NEW ENGINE FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND HAVE MY LOCAL DEALER INSTALL IT. THE FINAL REPAIR BILL WAS $25,000.
