anyone else had this trouble?
I have had three owners over the years with broken liners, they break under the neck on the left hand side.
I've just opened one up and found that the bottom groove has been rubbing hard and instead of breaking, it wore a groove in the wall in the area of the three liner O rings.
this tells me that the top (locates the lip of the liner) bore hole for the liner is not in line with the lower (o ring) bore hole. I have one engine here that has got through three liners worth $2,000 so the cases have gone off to be checked for alignment and ovality.
