Bronco Bad news
#1
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.

There is something you can do. Be a sponsor and give me about $5000.00 to make this thing run like it should. :toothy12:

Its all good. I will get it back together soon.
