What’s wrong with this pic?

Post from FB where a guy was asking why parts of his engine blew off.

I can't tell off hand... But looks like the flywheel is intact...
Maybe the head bolts not tightened enough or one broke... There's seams to be a fin separation and damage... But ????

Looks like a backwards flywheel.

 

[mckutzy]

Oh oh oh oh....... That's a good one.....

I think the better question is... How much force I'd it take in order to force that onto the taper of the crank...
We're almost talking about a square peg round hole situation....

Crikey...

Impact wrench > cracked flywheel

This is a trick isn't it, Bob?
correct answer : improperly gapped spark plug

 

[bob58o]

I was going with backwards flywheel. But I don’t know what engine it is.
What is on the other side of the flywheel that can be seen in the picture?
Any engines with flywheel that have fins that face the cylinder?

 

[mckutzy]

It Almost looks like a 2 stroke....


But I'm thinking its a Tekashema.... Or Briggs.

 

[Randy H]

Anything is possible.

He said it was a traxxis rx1 40cc

Here is the flywheel pic.............

His battery is at 38%. Prime numbers ruin everything.

His battery is at 38%. Prime numbers ruin everything.

38 is not prime..

But 38 is primarily a number.

The mangled cooling fins suggest foreign object damage.

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

I so stoopid

 

[65ShelbyClone]

We could blame it on another prime number.

 

[Randy H]

Hmm. The clock says 11:23. Both prime numbers. I think the application of a simple algorithm is in order.
1+1=2
2*3=6
6-2=4
38+4=

2,3,5,8,... Who do we appreciate?

 

[Randy H]

Who do we appreciate?

That's an excellent question.

The answer is people between the age of 50 and 55.

That should give me a year or two to spare.
