We also have a show in Middleburg October17th with a lunch and wine tour following. Also we are doing the annual Rehoboth Fun Run the first weekend in October and are visiting the guys and gals at Walter Reed Army Hospital on October 10th so that the Wounded Warriors get to see our cars and speak with us. Get on our website and contribute some of your experiences with us.

Larry, remember we chatted two years ago outside the VI? You even told me about how you were unhappy with Joe L., and you asked if my FE leaked, and I put my hand behind the left valve cover and wiped and pulled out a wet oily finger (I've since fixed that). |

A very long time, but it was well thought out and reasoned well.
Now about that T&L Engines... Major derailment.

Sincere apologies to Mike Chase who's thread several of us have seriously derailed.

Actually I think your post is a candidate for "best outburst of the year." I'm not sure why I wrote that you were "wound a little tight," hopefully you won't hold that against me.  |

Mike, I went through the same process you went through a year ago. Info from forums and talking with car guys at shows and events are great help. I went with a local bulder here in So Cal. The peace of mind that I knew the folks that worked on it and stood behind it was what drove my decision. I was also there when they fired it up and dyno'd the motor. That was a gas!
Good luck..

How did T&L get off so easy on this one? I've got stories about them as well... but you can easily find the nightmares suffered by others at their hands with a google search, and it makes our experience pale in comparison.

I'm glad I'm building my own engines...
In that way I know who to blame!

Yes I very much happy to read this article, i never read so details article ever, thank you for posting Since your admitted penchant for daily diversion is to instigate, irritate, illustrate and propagate all things ERA and expound expertise on EVERYTHING including the human psyche, I will reply to the chirps from your cricket legs rubbing together

Nice work Pat. Good to see you scan older threads for a target of opportunity to poke an eye out and bash somebody. Adding Jasmin to your FF bash watch list?
Anything to get a rise out huh? Those two roll bars are a more eloquent statement than anything you ever wrote.

I`ll try to go back to the original thread with an UPDATE:
7 months and 2 days after downpayment the motor really arrived on September 7th!
Solid crate, everything seemed to be allright. Some loose bolts, but no real problems.
But where is the flywheel???
Flywheel was ordered and paid for and part of the quotation in february.
Again, e-mails and phonecalls with no one answering. When I finally reached someone, he promised to sent it immediatly. T&L seem to have their own definition of immediatly, there is no flywheel in sight as of today, Sept. 28th 
Do yourself a favor an STAY AWAY FROM T&L
