LME Motor dynoed and shipped LME finished the (freshen up) and new Callies billet crank. They also did a dry deck and double oring set up. I went back to copper head gaskets, so we'll see how that goes. The motor made 660 crank hp, I guess that's not too bad with low compression. Bryan said I should have it back Thursday!! I can't wait! It was nice having the motor broken in on he dyno and pease of mind knowing oil pressure is good and no leaks before it gets back from TX.
I stinks missing the last drag radial race this weekend. But I'll be ready to hit the track SOON!

I'm not sure what the turbos will make, I'm thinking around 30-32? At 19lbs it will run 7.9's all day long. I need to get the traction worked out and see what it's made of.

Motor was first built by Rich Groh. The cam tunnel was not honed and checked. I spun 3 cam bearings with the motor right away. AES repaired the first goof up. I've had motors built by LME before and wanted to try a few new things I had talked about with Bryan. Nothing against AES just wanted to try a couple things.

Well it's pretty common on the early blocks to have cam tunnel issues. They needed to be honed and checked. For me personally I've had two RG motors and neither have worked out. Maybe I have bad luck?
