Ill try and get some pics this coming week..

Friend today decided to degovern his 6.5 Briggs Intek so he could run with me. broke 2 cams in an hour...then making a run he threw the rod and opened up the front of the block.

So his decision has left him without an engine...I tried to talk him out of it.

The hole is like 5" long...sprayed hot oil all over his left arm, and a peice of rod came out so fast it shot out in front of his kart.

Ruined a work uniform, and he'll probably end up with some minor 1st degree burns on his left arm, basically a bad sunburn...plus the painful fact he's spent hours getting this engine running right and adapting it to the kart it was on.

This is the reason i leave the governor on. your better off modifying it and leaving the governor on.

He got rid of the engine before I could get pics...but if you twisted just right you could almosty get your whole hand in the block..

Glad no one was hurt. I had the same thing happen in the shop the other day when Ted over rev'ed his Tech.
