Yes but in Tulsa you don't have to drive through Atlanta!

I have to fix engine before I go anywhere. I'm so tired of all this crap that is poorly made at a high cost. A loose cam basket on the cam gear what a pos. Thank goodness the FAST system would not allow it to restart after the run. The cam signal was lost.

Larry I feel your pain, after 38 years running the same combination, refresh two engines and can't seem get more than 2 passes with out an issue. One had issues on the dyno and the other one just made it a pass and a half. Not sure weather to go fishing or gardening .

A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows.
If you’ve never experienced the joy of accomplishing more than you can imagine, plant a garden.

How is Dumbo s recovery ?

As the guy in NETWORK said "I'm made as hell and not going to take it any more! "
At best that is how I remember the quote.

I purchased a good idea part that is not in tolerance, poorly assembled, and supplied with the cheapest materials that fail in minutes.

Beware of a Rolon brand chain.

On a positive side I need to thank; Brad, Cooter, David, Jeff, Jimmy, Mike and Randy for some good honest help and direction. Thanks again.
