All of Mike's hard work has ended in game over! A small part of the pre-combustion chamber broke loose and ruined a valve and a piston. Basically a small explosion occurred in the engine and now the whole engine is seized up and of no use anymore. Mike will have to start all over when we return in fall. The mechanics who looked it over determined that the head was a bad part. Mike did everything right when putting the engine in to begin with, there was nothing he could do to prevent it. So now we are off to renting a u-haul and returning home. It will be a while (a couple weeks until we return) and another adventure in itself. We will continue to keep you posted.
So sorry to hear about Amber, I am sure you two will still have a good time with the rest of your trip.

So disappointed to hear that your adventure is ending with issues, much like the way it started. Can't wait to hear about all of your experiences in person!
