That sucks big time, Brand X or not it ain't going to be a cheap fix.

It looks like it just let go/broke....but the picture only tells so much....

Sorry to see that Wayne. You are on a tear for sure. Sure looks like it broke to me, but sometimes hard to tell. Best fo luck getting it back out there.

well I feel a lot better today realizing the failure was probably not due to my inexperience with NOS. General consensus is broken valve. Half the lock from the intake valve is missing and the other is almost out.
Fortunately the block can be sleeved and the head can be fixed. Hoping the crank is ok??

Cool...... Are those the jets NX recommends? What's the fuel pressure? and that's 25 degrees while on the spray?
