<VV> Don't let this happen to you

[J R Read]

Matt,

I've seen holes through the top before from detonation.  This is the first 
one I've seen through the side.

Are you telling me that (hole in the side) this is a common result of 
detonation?

We blamed it on overheat on the bottom side of the cylinder.

Later, JR
