Re: anyone have this happen with a b series swap b4? (B18aHatch)

Have seen it before, with a supercharged B16. My assumation at that time, was that something was week in the xmember prior to the swap, and the extra power from the swap caused it.
We welded/supported the xmember across the hole area -that was 2 years ago and it has been fine.
However, that was the 1 case I have seen it happen out of hundreds.
