Well I have to chime in here and provide a couple of clearer pictures of the carnage. Yesterday I was fortunate to have such excellent company during the teardown. And oh the stories this fellow Grady has...
As for the engine, I was indeed lucky and hopefully it can be back running in time for the upcoming RMR track season opener. At the TWS club race, the engine croaked by the second practice session on Friday. That 2000 mile roundtrip (Denver-College Station and back) was a nothing short of outright disaster, fodder for another post. I completely agree with Grady, if something is not right, by golly guys do not run it anymore.
