And the note accompanying the engine went something like this:

"I'd like to have this repaired. It's never been run too lean or mishandled in any way. I was on the course and the engine just stopped abruptly. So it seems that warranty service should be in order." :D

Not really.......

Having one break through the mounting lugs is really impressive!

That spraybar still looks good. Not to mention those rear cover screws, and I'll bet the tapered collet for the spinner will fly again. It's all how you look at it!

Maybe you should start a thread for case glue to hold it back together?
