Rick - thanks for the email. I'll look into checking the rod.

Excal - Hard to say, just hope that this is the fix to the issue! I sense the wall on the intake was pretty thin at that point so it could have happened in the porting. However, I ran for 250 miles or so with no problems - including right up to when I shut down the engine.

If the pin hole was there and then burst - what would the likely result be? Would that cause the temps to spike? Assume I'd see a big white cloud of smoke out the exhaust when it happened from the water going into the cylinder.
