guess i'm tied for second then with 4, but thats on 2 bikes
my piston skirt broke the second day i owned it, then a local dealer gouged my cases and caused an airleak frying another, then i found ken oconnor, but a green paper gasket i used sucked in = airleak = boom
and i had a stock crank go out in my sons bike
both are now completely ken oconnor built/assembled and life is good

i guess the only prob i have had was in my bb kit when the sleeve spun..but it didnt blow and i still rode it home..ran like crap but made it home lol
0! Ive torn my engine down once, but it was still running fine. It just came apart for porting, and to get rid of the stock piston before it went boom. One season and counting on a fresh engine and its still running strong. Then again, Ken did my top end and I personally put it back together and jetted the carb, so I know its done right.
Blew two blaster motors, one was a paper gasket air leak, which led to a seized piston. Second was a breaking the lower connecting rod bearing.
