What was the diagnosis in the end? The thread got so long that I lost the plot after 5 pages.

Thanks

I hoped it was something simple but didn't realise the spec was being changed again

I hope it gets well this time.

i thought that the latest news was thursday as dyno day, so possibly could be at the meet. if wednesday is dyno day, it will probably be a long day.

Im still hoping it gets delayed a day as friday would be ideal for me, as its on my way home anyway

No not today, I have biult the engine bar the sump which will go on tomorrow,
The problem we have is Simon is flat out on the dyno which means we are unlikely to run it before monday unless we find somewhere else, we should know tomorrow on this.

Ive done a dummy build of all the Fabrication etc & all fits OK

.
The strut brace is the only bit that dont fit & will be sorted later.
Will crack on with removing the dummy engine tomorrow & then the brakes & fitting the Nitrous system .
Mark & I are working very hard on this & I forget im 62 sometimes when im crawling about under the motor & doing 8+ hour days, retirement should be a time of taking it easy

.
We have done our bit, but it could be that things outside our control stop us making Fighting Torque

.
Still, not all over yet & tomorrow Mark will try to sort something out.
