NW PA | I'm stating facts.
Look at the second picture. That is the power assembly, which is the cylinder head and liner combined. The power assembly came off because the hold-down bolts broke. Once the head/liner comes out, the piston has no guidance, beats around inside the engine until it flies off the connecting rod and then goes thru the guy's roof and he's lucky he wasn't killed.
There are thousands of these engines running and power assemblies don't just fly off because someone put a Chinese part in it. While I agree there are way too many Chinese parts in ALL engines these days, in this case the simple fact is the hold down bolts broke because they were left loose.
