You were right sheared flywheel key. When you mentioned that this morning a light went off in my head.
Thank you so much. You don’t know how relieved I am. I also feel blessed it sheared or I wouldn’t have known my reeds and reed stop was getting ready to be ingested by the engine with only 1 of 3 screws holding it in place. Luckily the 1 screw that was holding it in place was bent so it didn’t back off. If all goes well I can sell the replacement cylinder head I ordered and the 1 good reed valve assy that was on lower cylinder. I will keep the extra head gasket. I ordered extra manifold gaskets and I intend to shim the reed assy out a bit to be safe. The new/used rod cap did not look to be damaged so I must have just missed it when I re-assembled the motor. Possibly the screw heads were cracked and came of when running but the actual rod cap look like new I think it would have showed signs of damage if it had struck the reed assy.
I will post a video when I am finished of it running. You can see a few of my old motors here running.
