What do you think caused the engine failures?

High oil temps?

That worries me because I also have a 2270 I want to DE.

I also have a cooler with fan above the rear axle.

Did you have a fan on your old cooler?

Thanks,

John

My personal feeling? I don't think the Keith Black pistons that Jake use to use (maybe still does?) are up to ANY detonation. Run lean and it will explode. On my 2270 it took out everything but the crank. Mark has that crank by the way... He is authorized to sell it at a pretty fair price.
