I hope they are too, if I hopefully get an FD and it has twins I will be getting a spare manifold and porting the poop out of it, and build up my parts for single conversion. Really want to do a rear mount radiator as I have piping and and EWP

That would be his fault

I dont know what the issue was they munched through quite a few engines.  They really give it a go campaigned it for a good few years.

Well one issue was oiling, which Carl helped him sort. Another was he changed the whole fuel system and was complaint of a loud banging around left or right turns, even at slow speeds, that banging was the engine detonating, he recorded on his on board camera, it was so loud too and he kept on driving it!!!!! He blamed Carl for that when he was told that the new fuel system wasn't needed. Not sure who he went too for engines after Carl, but if he had similar issues then it's blatantly obvious who the issues are with, not the engine!! In fact I think it was Jaydee and Kerim, those guys built and tunes James Willdays car to well over 750whp if not more but the dyno couldn't handle it

Sometimes more money isn't the cure, maybe it's the talent. Lmao
