Default The 7 Year Build

Have you guys seen this project before? I couldn't image putting in all that effort to have it burn up after the first start...

Some love for Roger. Who was the fuel line supplier?

Phil says it would not have been possible without the help of his boss David Hayton, parts guru Roger Tyson (928srus.com), Kendal OPC and of course 928.org.uk.

*Dissection of the short ‘stroker’ engine found a misaligned oil ring on one of the pistons. It was shipped back to the US, the engine builder fixed the issue and sent it back to the UK. Phil may fit it again once the SE is done. The company responsible for the bad fuel line basically said prove it

After reading this article and "reading between the lines", I think one can guess whom the fuel line supplier/engine builder probably was.....
