Just to be complete with information here....The latest valve guide
failure from Mykals shop had the circlips installed..He "rebuilt" the
heads again and they had circlips they had also been knurled on the
outside (a common auto shop botch) and glued in with locktite.
So there are examples of the circlipped guides failing as well.
I'm so glad I met on Carr at Ram Performance.

i still love that engine. got a prop balancer and it's so smooth and
has very nice power for my pelican. yes, disappointed in mykal with the
heads - he offered to rework them at his cost after promising that they
had clips (they didn't) for $350 but i sent to RAM for $500. lucky i
checked and glad i sent them out.

If the alternator mounting fails, the worst case scenario is that the
alternator falls off causing a total electrical failure requiring an
emergency landing. In this airplane, you have a very good chance of making a
successful emergency landing and walking away unharmed.
If the engine mount fails, the worst case scenario it that the increased
stresses on the other mounts cause them to also fail and the engine falls
off. If the engine falls off, there is no hope of maintaining control of the
aircraft. If you don't have a parachute, you will probably die in the
resulting crash. Granted, this is a low probability event but the
consequences are so severe I would give the cracked engine mount a higher
priority.
