Default Poor K181 couldn't take it-

All that nice compression, flattened cylinder head, new gaskets, smooth sealing valves, clean carb and fresh oil was just too much for it.

Got it all back together, sounded great, and a couple minutes in a loud BANG. Cylinder not moving but valves are so I'm guessing a broken connecting rod.

Should have it back on the bench soon and will get some pics of what I find.
