Hopefully the Majority of the failures are behind us and related to the thrust bearing issues, gas in oil, making oil, uneducated / unaware owners but still - Where is the discussion of what exactly is failing?

I realize that an autopsy of a power head with a ventilated block is not the easiest thing to do or decipher in terms of which came first, but its not rocket science and I'm sure someone can do it or has done it and surely there should be a recommendation as to what we Should and Should Not be doing with these things.

I realize that most of us are Fishermen and not Serious Mechanics but If there is a thread or discussion somewhere please point me to it so I can learn and not waste anyone's time here.

Thanks!
