I got lucky, there was no damage, the head was just bouncing around in there. I was really surprised to hear there was no damage after hearing the sounds the thing was making, it was so bad...

Ohhh...so when we talked and you said how loud the flywheel is, it was due to the head of the bolts floating around? Wow...

I bet he only had 1 or 2 shear off, and that's what the damage wasn't bad. Even with one gone, aside from the bits floating around in the there the flywheel will be out of balance, can put odd rotation stresses on other components, etc. Sorry to hear about that RCZ, hopefully they'll update their design and take care of you guys with failures.

Actually nah, I was just referring to the rattle when we talked. When the nut sheared off it sounded like the flywheel was broken in half...it was really really bad.
