Engine tear down








I neglected to take photo's during the beginning of the disassembly.  Cannondale engineers decided to go a different direction with a lot of their engine technology.  Besides the reverse cylinder head the engine has a piston and sleeve cylinder that presses into the engine case.  And a cassette style transmission.  As you can see in the last picture the previous owner (PO) didn't install the tranny filter correctly.  I'm lucky it didn't get chewed up and cycled throughout the engine.
