when I put the EG144 kit in the CR I used to have I started it up after replacing every major part in the engine (to the tune of $1500 :scream: ) and I started it, sounded beautiful until it went eeeurp and was once piece, after only 30 seconds of running I thought it was junk, so I started to pull it all back apart and found that the primary gear had came loose because I didn't loctite it :| I know this doesn't help you any but I find my stupidity humorous now :)
