the 2 bolts holding the clutch to the fan sheered. I over tightened them accordnig to BarracudaHockey lol wont happen again though. I also replaced the piston ring. hopefully it brings the life back into her.

These 2 bolts your talking about i have had the same problem and sheared them 3 times now,i noticed a bit of play with the clutch bell moving alittle so i bought the quick uk 3rd bearing clutch upgrade and made sure i didnt over tighten them once rebuilt,well i have had say 6-8 flights so far and all seems good (touch wood)
keep me posted if yours breaks again,thanks

BH informed me that its either because you over, or under tightened them. I think he said 1/8th a turn past snug. this is the 4th time ive done it. hopefully my last.
