No, I'm in no hurry, I'll have the motor out by this weekend. I'm installing the pressure gauge in the cooler line to see how much before I take it apart. That way I know if the trans has an issue before I chew up another set of bearings......

Otto,

Sorry to see the carnage. Sort of weird to have the crank break in the front. Was this crank previously weld repaired? Hey, if you want to have a crank made I have a couple of forgings. I also have a de-stroked crank (all the rage in TSM) I'd give you a really good deal on. Let me know what you need.

Otto, WTF? Dude, just build a TSM motor. TSM has all the incentive with Bamford. Oh I saw your post about the trailer. Want an open car trailer?

All I know is I'm ahead of you right now. I have a one piece crank. BTW, stop playing on the computer and get back to work!

He can't do that......Then he wouldn't be Otto "the great".

In TSM trim I think Ottos best pass was a 10.47......that was with FAST, a trans brake and a BB72Q..... With a 70, he wouldn't even be that fast......

Let him build a TSO motor.........Wait till he blows that up......

I can hear it now......1 slightly used GN for sale.........

Jim R (the R is for RACING!!!) made me do it.......
