Wow, what bad luck. I knew the mud racer had some bugs to work out but I got slamed with bad news today. A nut broke on a rocker arm and a valve was hung open. I have 4 bent rods and all bearings are spun-- crank shaft is is screwed up as well. This was a brand new motor. I am in shock. 460 motors are not cheap to build or maintain.

Dang I hate to hear that Carl. I know you'll get it worked out and back running soon though. Keep your head high.
