Bad Engine News...

After receiving the engine we removed the head to examine the cylinders to ensure that everything is tip-top. But sadly the engine had some serious internal issues!



At some point during the engines life it ingested some debris. We found some of the remaining debris stuck in one of the intake valves.



This debris contributed to some serious cylinder wall scaring.


So the engine is in no condition to be competitive in the competition so we boxed the engine and started looking for another engine, crossing our fingers that the second time is the charm because we can't afford to have it be the third time.
