Dan, sorry to here about that. Hope your repair job goes good. I was adding a couple washer shimes for up thrust the other day and noticed mine seperating just in front of the landing gear. I added some glass cloth and 30 min epoxy, hope it stays together now. I am running the 160 though and it is alot lighter than some engines. I have the front of mine pinned with 1/8th dowel like everyone says to, but that is not where mine or yours seperated. I sure like flying this plane though, I have about 14 tanks of fuel through mine so far.
