Hey Lloyd,
Any chance of bringing the crank to the drags? (still coming, right?) It
would be interesting to see. Also, why don't you bring/race your Talon,
its still a high tech import you know.

insufficient oiling. 2 rod bearings seized, heated the crank to a
pleasant black colour (pictures to follow), and scored the cylinders
associated. So, the crank is a total write off and the block will take
extensive machine work to get back in shape (aluminum impregnanted with
silicon is a beggar to work I'm told) so I'm investigating a replacement
motor.
What will really torque me though, is if I put all this money into it
and I can't squeeze out enough to stroke it out... I'm looking for the
bright side here.
Lloyd

Sorry to hear about the engine, Lloyd. Any diagnosis of what causes the
trouble?

My name is Lloyd and I have been forcefully excluded from the thrill of
punching the gas and watching everybody disappear in the mirrors...
Looks like I'm in for another motor. The crank was blackened from
generated heat and some cylinder walls were damaged (and getting machine
work on these works of art is truly exciting).
Ugh
