Hey G, Knowing you drive your car hard, I'd say your High Compression race eng has held up very well. If it wasn't for a unforeseen & unfortunate mechanical failure It would still be running today.

Agreed. If I had the time, the shop, and the tools I would do the same. It's gotta be nice to gap your own rings and check your own tolerances.
your anal retentive enough to be a great engine builder (assembler), we can build you a nice clean room to do it in.

I agree.....**** happens. Every time I have gotten a first place it has cost me a motor. I might have to take second for now on just to save some money :lol:

Or just have 2 or 3 identical spare engines in the trailer. Maybe we can have you apprentice with Gordon, he is the #1 Hemi builder in the Western Hemi's-spere. If you can master a Hemi, you can build anything. He said he would teach anyone that would be willing to learn. :hail:

I think we found a new hobby for you. Thats is you don't mind sharing space in the compressor room. :lol:

I just talked to PBM about their timing chains and the rep told me that they had a few issues with their EID chains(not sure what EID means) so they upgraded to Rolon chains.

He said they had been using the EID's for 15 years prior with no issues but within the last two years issues had been occuring so they switched to Rolon a year ago.

Here's a link with a little info:
