heads up,
i cant believe you chucked the engine becuase the head bolts would loosen. did you try wrapping them in plumbers tape? did you try soaking the inside of the screw holes with rubbing alcohol and pouring it out and repeating and then draining it and using locktite? there were billions of things you could have done to keep thos bolts from coming loose and you simply throw the engine away? especially in your time of "tight budgets"?
OK ... should have been more clear ... I tossed it in the trash after repeated attemts to get my LHS and/or Megatech to refund my money ... I used alcohol and high temp lock tight ... tried using silicon tape (plumbers tape) ... after all I went through, I just gave up ... bought an OS 46 FX ... should have done that in the first place ... And yes, I did toss the POS Megatech in the trash after it sat on my work bench for 7 months.
