A snap on crows foot. It's got calculations on it to tell you what to set your wrench to to compensate for the extra length.

I have a feeling that the RTV could have caused a sponging effect and did not allow the cylinder to respond to the diagonal and incremental tensioning sequence need to allow the cylinder to snug down correctly.
If the tension wrench was fooled by the sponging that particular nut may just have been a tad tighter than the rest..
Expansion and contraction then stressed the lug causing it to break.

Did you torque the cylinder down then realize you forgot the clutch cable bracket, then just put the bracket on? 
Just as a point of interest, how much longer is the crows foot fitting and what did you set the wrench to.
I use a home made 50mm extension and usually pull them down to 16 ft lbs.

That will do it every time, one must loosen all and do the sequence again!Did you torque the cylinder down then realize you forgot the clutch cable bracket, then just put the bracket on?

Good thought. I'll grab a pic of the crows foot next time I'm at the shop

I wonder how bad that crack looks from looking inside the intake? We want to see pics when you open it up!
I'm wondering that also. It goes from the Reed Block All the way to the casting mark with the bore stroke specs on it
i'm liking this theory.
the ONLY places ANY sealant should be used on a blaster engine is yamabond between the case halves and copper rtv or yamabond on the intake gaskets.
using it anywhere else is asking for trouble
forgot that one, shouldn't need it there but we do.
actually i now use 100% pure silicon tape, lasted all last season
but lets not skate around the fact you used it in the worst place possible

well i didnt see what a even coat of rtv would hurt but i guess ive learned my lesson
If you knew you were going to get screwed then you would of used KY instead of RTV!
