I was waiting for this. I can tell you unequivocally that was not what happened here. Head was torqued in 4 steps in the proper pattern with a quality click type torque wrench to Gas Gas spec of 18 ft lbs and then checked after a heat cycle. I've dealt with plenty of 2 stroke cylinder heads over 20 years of road racing and never cracked one due to over-torquing.
