Finally!
Made the trip up to Michigan today to watch my motor being dynoed. Everything looks good and the blow-by issues that were overheating the oil are resolved. Brought her home in the back of the truck with me.
Probably sling it in tomarrow afternoon or friday morning.

Original dyno was 645 h.p. with original build.
No changes in engine specs or h.p., just light honing in the cylinders and re-ring.
They also found a problem in the casting of the Merlin heads that were sent out for epoxy impregnating to seal the leak.
Should be good as new!

Dyno,
You really sitting this summer out with the baby? Maybe you just need to add a diaper changing station in your boat!
Hope all is well with you and the family. Will try to make it up there this summer. Still debating on SOTW vs. Mentor race.
Chris
