So far the engine feels ok, allthough its only done about 100 miles. The breakdown was alternator/battery related. Couldnt have made it any clearer that I wanted the car 100% reliable and that any probs should be sorted! What more can I do? When an engine builder/tuner/tosspot tells you everythings sweet then you'd pressume so! But still havnt got any real explanation why the last two rodded emselves. Bad luck apparently. Allthough they felf fine the few miles I did manage to cover with em.

Also the first engine that let go, he tried to blame me for letting the car get too hot (something else that was meant to be sorted) but low and behold my stack had 134mph registered in it whilst it was unmapped and driven to the rollers by his ex mechanic.

First build took about six months this latest one took two weeks.
