An assembly flaw in a Saito is rare & the design is not flawed when glow fuel is employed.

Start running gasoline in an engine originally designed for glow fuel and then there can be significant design flaws.

Many of the guys running FG-84R3s are experiencing rod journal seizure when running 20:1 gas/oil mix. Bronze bushings are being adapted & the gas/oil mix ratio is reduced to 15:1. (More oil)
