I loved reading that...it’s awesome how they didn't leave the guy or his bike stranded in the mountains or another country...very touching.  |

In retrospect, Lou should have ridden Ian's H1B back to the Soo, to make room for the H2. Maybe next time I'll have an idea like this when needed instead of 1.5 months after. ;D 60 hours on my wossners, guess they should be ready to blow!  |

There "should" not be any pressure on the pin to push it. A badly shaped exhaust port or chamfer (or lack of) will push on the pins. The hole depth is really not a big factor........

is the gap not lined up with a
portion of the cylinder that has
no ports?

The gap is in the centre of the intake port "tongue" that hangs down.
Also, I seem to recall many have deduced that the pins coming out were largely due to excessive cylinder/piston clearances and basically getting shaken out. Wossner's are 0.7mm clearance, less than wiseco's, provided the cylinder was properly prepared for the piston.

I've got to wonder if he had the jetting set up for 10,000+ ft?
The air is pretty thin up there and that may have caused a lean condition heating things up quite a bit and may have contributed to the failure.
Looks like the dudes from California so it's hard to say what he would set it at home but at 10,700 the air is noticeably thinner.

Actually things go rich (less air pressure) And ring end gaps are "usually" supported, but don't have to be. |

or you in America. It was a nice rescue effort. It wasn't that bad. Luckily I had my bag of goodies with me to help pass the time until the calvary arrived with the trailer.  Although the banjo music and some guy yelling sooooweeee off in the distance was starting to make me a bit nervous... As for those fargin iceholes towing the bike in the videos. I would of used the rope to tie down the bike on the back of the ATV and then sat on the front and enjoyed the ride.  browney out |

I had two guys offer help when the H2 stuck solid on the way to Mosport. I agree with Don on the ring over the pin. It's not fair to blame the piston manufacturer till they take it up with their rep. Maybe they would have paid up a waranty if they had a chance to inspect it. |
