What could have been, what was, and what will be. Sam is back home after what seems like forever after a vacation, a quick week back at the shop, then 8 days out in California. It all started on June 9th at The Prado Show and Shine. Then things really got cooking on June 11th when the engine that Sam spent so many hours on was started up to go for it's first dyno pull. Somehow, a small nut or metal spacer of some sort ended up in the #1 cylinder and made a mess of the piston, cylinder and cylinder head. Not one to throw in the towel, Sam (with the help of so many great people at EMPI including many of the other Engine Battle competitors) pulled the engine apart and got it back together to go for another attempt. That attempt was somewhat short lived as during the first run, the stock cooling fan (only meant to rev up to 5500-6000 engine RPM) decided it didn't like the high (7800+ rpm) revs the engine was turning. It flew apart in a wonderful display of sparks and an puffed up fan shroud. Fortunately, no one was injured by the flying debris, but the engine didn't seem to like the revs. So, once the engine is back home, Sam will go through it and bring it back to life yet again.
