I have Never heard of that happening! I thought it was bad enough when a brand new brand X 8hp generator put the rod out the block after 15 minutes of running! :( The con rod was too loose of fit from the factory!
Plus the clowns at the local shop wouldn't honor the warrenty, saying it was low on oil. B.S., the rod was a shiny silver, you run a rod out of oil, it is ALWAYS burned black or blue due to the heat!
@ChargerMiles007 brand x whose crankshaft journal broke off of both throws and flew through the crankcase with an entire rod and part of a piston? yeah......bad experiences. lol
@ChargerMiles007 Hopefully. My neighbor is trashpicking for me cause I dont have a truck. Haha yeah Brand X meaning rod through block and leg make eyes go X, right? :P
Actually, I used two cooling fins to act as the walls, and drilled the port holes in the middle of them, then sealed it up with small pieces of aluminum held to the fins with JB Weld. I use the original intake manifold, but I put a sheet metal wall in it so the exhaust can't mix with the intake air, and I cut the end open to let the exhaust out.. I drilled holes in the bottom of the intake tube to connect with the manifold formed by the fins, it seems to work pretty well.

Awesome work! How did you get the intake to the ports? Did you have to weld tubes to them or something?
