Corleones new engine is running

I sent you an email with the cause. It has absolutely nothing to do with the day wet or cold.
Check your emails and do as I suggest. Call Neil. It is so plain to see why this happened.

It appears it was a build mistake based on your comments ....Still yet if there was quenching it would lift the head, the high temperature could have shrunk the ring , anything on the head ? the pic posted shows the tell tale signs IMO ...
Run !!! Forrest , run ......

Ok i was under the impression it was an " event " which appeared to be from quenching , intake air temps are critical with ethanol and there will be no signs of knock!

Many thanks.
p.s. I just read through this post from start to finish and what a project! I'm impressed. There are many things that looked so wrong to me about your set up your intercooler, the revs your using, the intake manifold. What I know tells me it's wrong but you've challenged that and its worked. I respect that massively. Also I once bought a mk2 golf from a rally driver who used ridiculously advanced ignition and it was without doubt the fastest golf I've ever owned or driven so I'm totally with you on that one. Advanced ignition makes an engine feel so much sharper.
Hope you get the heat thing sorted and I'd love to see those video clips.
