Hey everyone, So I went up to my cottage on Friday with everything I needed to upgrade my little dirt bug that was on its last leg. It was also my birthday and I was excited as F**k to get the thing going, after a couple hours of work me and my brother finally finished it and took it for a test ride. It worked great, Except for when my friend was riding it an hour later along side me and my brother who were on our dirt bikes, we noticed he had stopped quite a ways back from us, we road over to see what happened and he pointed at two large holes in the side of the engine casing. After bringing it home and dissembling the entire engine, we could right away see the problem. The connecting rod had exploded into pieces. I was quite upset to say the least, I can't seem to grasp what I did wrong. How is it that in a couple hours of use the conrod just exploded? I put 10w30, this was also a brand new engine. I'm afraid of buying another engine, not sure how my luck is lol. Any help would be nice.
