You see more of this in China made engines but it can happen to any brand. I have a ZDZ 160 here that blew the crank needle bearing and took out the pistons and cylinders, Would cost more to fix it than the engine is worth. Milton |

My engine was just a little over 6 years old when it puked on itself,,, it was a stump pulling engine right up untill that last go around. I too thought about rebuilding it but opted for another 170 redhead.
Agreed, no engine is immuned from having a bad day and sheet happens. |
