I still cant get over how straight the rail ran Alan. Smoooth!!

Now looking for 8 seconds with a SBC engine
Its taken me ages to reply Alan!!
I was hoovering in the bedroom and decided to flick the vac over the key board while it was firing up. Bad Idea!!!
Just been sifting through Henry's guts to find the enter key
Got me some new engine mounts today as well so I can copy them in steel and do away with the rubber....

The damage Report.
On the run after that shown, the engine stopped abruptly in the shutdown area. Stripped it down yesterday and the damage is not too bad really. Maybe 6 or so bent valves, two very bent and have a 1/8" gap from the seat. wo bent pushrods, 1 is S shaped. One snapped rocker arm. crank timing sprocket in three pieces and missing a few teeth and bizarrely all the flywheel bolts are loose which was the source of the clunking sound. Pushrods and rocker are stock items, we have loads of spares, valves are stock and again we have new spares. We also have a very nice vernier timing set to fit. Trying to think of a way to stop the flexplate bolts backing out, we use the RR classic adaptor with the counterbored Allen screws, beyond loctite I cant think of a mechanical method to secure it.
