John,
That is indeed a head scratcher. I went back and looked at your pictures of the engine & cooling hookup and nothing seems to fit what happened. How rough was the ride in the bar ditch? Many times they are a wide, smooth, very gentle slope, but I've ridden a couple that dropped sharply to a low ditch. Just wondering how much you torqued it, and what your rpm's were doing during the ride?
