I blew the Ilfan

I had it on the rear of the trike and it ran a day then popped and lost all compression. I wonder if running it not quite level caused the oil to not flow as it should have. Any ideas.
 
I don't slightly unlevel caused the prob. Sounds like a valve or head gasket prob. spin the motor over while listening closely around for air leaking with a short listening hose.
 
To be honest anything is possible this is the motor that I fell while riding so it got a pretty good rap. I'll check to see if it is a leak somewhere next time I'm in the shop.
