[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1399309, member: 3828"] Be aware that the photos linked to by jeremy62 are of a completely different engine (in Ireland?), not Intech's brother's bike. FWIW - the cylinders were always said to have "Ceramic Composite Cylinder Coating". They could still be sleeved. By the looks of jeremy's photo it sure looks like they are. Not sure where that info came from. I was under the impression that they didn't change anything significant in the base engine, just exhaust and intake stuff. Back to Intech's old '07: The #2 Fuel injector must be stuck wide open. Thats the only way I can think of for that much fuel to get in there. Would explain the engine stalling out (all of the fuel rail pressure would dump into the one cylinder), and the subsequent appearance of being seized. If the cylinder was full of incompressible fuel, it would mimick seizure (called hydro lock) until the fuel is removed. If the bottom end survived the hydro lock you may be able to just fix the fuel leak and put it back together. [/QUOTE]
