Re: Getting closer

Ok both of you have made valid points, now the true test will be in a few weeks when Shaun's get's out to the track and drops the clutch at 5,000rpm

Now Play Nice

Re: Getting closer

Yes, and I'm not arguing a lot of what Cory says, I'm just frustruated to see Shawn going through a 4th or 5th rebuild, thats why I want him to do something different this time around. The first time I"d say yeah let it be since they are soft moly rings etc.. But when all those times he had blow by, do it differently. But he and Cory have not, I'm not saying the rings will seat just like soft moly rings should, but they didn't last time so what makes you think they will this time?

Thats like tunning a car, getting no power and 9:1 A/F and saying, well the values are the same as the last time I was here or the same as the other guy with the same setup why should I do anything differently? Well just do it so later you're not thinking what you could have done differently.

Re: Getting closer

Matt

Although I do appreciate your good intentions, at the end of the day, Rash is there, right from the beginning. He has 100% of my confidance, and if things do not go right, he's there to address it and correct it ultimately. He has been EXTREMELY generous in giving me his time.

We shut the car down as soon as temps were even modestly above normal but we had to get the car UP to temp before we knew if there was even a problem.

As you know I have learnt a lot of things the hard way but.......

Its all good.

Re: Getting closer

You know what, I'm probably even posting here beause I'm not working today, normally I would ignore a post like this. You find your own cam! Already told you, actually here is a nice priced one:

Dang it has been a while big guy! Glad it is up and running. All seems to be in order and you have a good man there to give advise

I will shoot you a PM
