Changed design from timing chain to belt 2 months after release. Bolt attaching timing chain sprocket to cam shaft overtightened at factory causing thousands of dollars of damage to cam timing chain and sprocket and several other parts, and leaving me stranded in a national forest 45 miles from nearest services with no cell phone reception.
