Ok so some of you may know I am doing the build of my life.
Put the case together for checking fit all went fine everything turned great. Disassembled and found this break in the case at the cam.  I have a massive amount of money in this case and it is opened for my 102s. Anyone think of if and where I can get this repaired quickly? |

Mike - I have a good case that I can send you (or your machine shop) for free but I’m headed to Maine tomorrow and won’t be back until Wed. Sorry about the timing but it’s yours if you want it. Mark

Well I have to give Jorge at European Motor Works a big thumbs up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
New case opened for 102s, lined bored, and the oil galley plugs drill and tapped is on the way! |

Mike.
Sorry to see your troubles. Seems like the 914 Gods are testing your resolve. Have you tried any sacrifices appeasement rituals?? Good luck with the assembly Dave |

Good luck with the assembly Dave Don't know my build is worth the Gods attention but someone is definitely trying to piss me off! The support I get here is what makes me want to keep pushing forward instead of quitting. |

Just our case together for first test fit. How to have PCs installed by dinner. Going really slow just to be sure.  |
