GreenPeace... I called Eric last year when I orginally found the problem..
Basically he told me this.... If it hasn't blown up yet....you're good to go. I was told that if the crack did not cause a ring to get hooked it should be fine.
I did nothing to fix the problem,,,,,,, just re-assembled and rode.
The bike is still running very strong today. Several hard miles have been put on that engine since.
Please don't hold Eric's words against him should your bike fail if you continue to run it as is.....
I took MY OWN chances on his advice.. If it would have blown,,,I'd not have blamed him.
In South Africa,,,,you do have Eric Gorr.........just visit his website and give him a call.....
I'm sure he will ship to you if you ask..He's a real decent guy.

You're on the way to getting this fixed, right? Another post got you a tip on a cylinder that EG may have from CDave?
Hopefully.
CC.... I did talk to Eric about that cylinder and opted to run the bike as is. Yes I took my chances and so far nothing has come from it.
