I did grease the arse out of it last time and if it can be fixed will be re-greasing the arse out of it after it gets cleaned up. I may as well go and have a look at it now.

I think that it continued to crack while I used it over the past year or whatever and eventually came to a point where a little bit more stress made it weak enough to completely sh*t itself.

A set of Raceworks equivalent is under $600 so ultimately decided that will eventually be a less risky buy - don't want to save $300 bucks but pop a motor.Still, if they are legit it would have been a bargain!
