Default Wennys mk3???

As above what's been happening with it haven't seen anything on here for a while? Last I heard it ran a low 10 I believe?

Any videos or pictures of the beast?

Sadly the exhaust cam sheared where it exited the cam bearing and the pulley/end of the cam came off.

As it happened at 8000rpm+ it's made a fair mess of things

That is bad news! That thing flew when I seen him at Ford Fair.

I take it a new build or rebuild is on the cards?

Think plans are already in place for taking the engine to SCS to sort out the rebuild.
