In the February issue of Cycle World page 31 in the article MotoGP Refugee it states, "Yet engineers were dissatisfied with the inline-four because it consist of two 180-degree twins set end to end. Each such twin wobbles vigorously about its center, applying a bending moment that flexes and may in time crack the crankcase and cause cylinder base-gasket leakage."

OH Snap! Do I need to carry JB Weld with me? Has anybody ever had their crankcase crack?
