    Great video, shame the engine let go, but you got it back without a hole in block.
    The two kids were great.

    Cracking video James. I feel your pain with the manifold bolts, I have similar on my kitcar, some I changed to Allen cap screws for easier access. Interesting failure of the piston, I do like a good air crash investigation 😂 All the best.

    Ah yes, many fond memories of trying to get those exhaust manifold bolts off. Don't think the skin on my knuckles has ever fully recovered.

    Great vid once again James, cracking team!
    Is it the 60G box you run in those pickups? Are you able to run flatshift in that series ?

      @graceenginedevelopments  2 місяці тому

      Thanks lee, yes it is, no we can't run flat shift unfortunately

      @@graceenginedevelopments ah that’s unfortunate! A lot of us use the 60g for rallying, great reliable unit!
      No doubt you rebuild it yourself? If ever you’re in doubt with anything feel free to give me a shout. I do a lot of work with them

    Harsh outcome, but as with everything Racing it could've been so much worse.

      Yes harsh and expensive for about 8 laps but hey ho.. just need to fix it and I have some ideas for more power

      Hi Kit, I reduced my speed and wanted to be ready to just jump out near some marshalls if I saw flames, the smoke was bad in the car.
