It broke...because, it broke.
I don't know why.
It broke.
It might break again.
It might not.
It won't brake, because that's what brakes do, unless they're broke.
Give me a break.
I don't know... :shock:

Greetings:

Stock Honda cranks and the Malossi full-circle cranks can take abuse for a long time. Other brands, not so much. You didn't say what brand broke, but the stuff from Taiwan has been known to fail, even when the engine tune and oil are "good".

Things break. Anything can break. It happens. I would be interested in how your engine was built, and what actually was happening or happened when it broke.
