The particular mentioned fact is not a unique incident but more of a usual behavior in highly modified engines. If the engine builder does not use a girdle configuration in order to support the crank cases along with the cylinder and the cylinder head,then cracks may occur to the cylinder or to the base gasket. In this particular case the cylinder was especially welded by one of the best welders in Athens, Mr Antonis Neratzakis. Mr Antonis Neratzakis is a highly educated expert and he is also capable to make a complete diagnosis and provide solutions under any extreme situations.
