    I'm winterized. As a matter of fact, I pulled the engine. I even pulled the crank out. I left the pistons snug in their bed, and the heads are going to come off next week. I've been sick all weekend so I'm not up to going out in 38* weather. I even blew out the water lines with the compressor.

    Now, is it possible that reversion is what happened to your engine wet. I dont quite understand this time stuff yet.

    No reversion. There are two scenarios that lead to the failure.
    The first being that the harmonics in the rotating assembly kept vibrating the crank until it found a weak spot.
    The second being that airing out the pump (like Havre) and loading it back up is like doing a "tranny drop" and puts a binding stress on the crank. It either twisted or fatigued and then you get 2 cranks.
    It is also possible that both scenarios played a part.

    I thought I was really ****ed up. After staring at it...yup. I was sucking water out of the air and pumping it into the lake.
    Don't you have better things to do? Here's an idea...make a video of all the footage you have so far. Pass it around like Hammer did a couple of years ago.
    I think you are the official videographer.
