This drifting of this thread ties in with the horror story Pete Roper is telling over on WildGuzzi & Grisoghetto. Broken parts lost in the engine, frozen camshafts & trashed flat tappets.

You know I think this was an "engineering" topic as much as anything that has now taken on a extra philosophical element which I kind of enjoy:)

Some of the best threads end up this way. You learn about the engineering and get the life lessons for free.

I'd like to have one to put on the test bench..  :whistle:

 

Well, it's only QC. What do we have? Is it to spec, etc.

I think there will be plenty of springs to go around - and we can always have another batch made. I suppose they should be arriving next week or so.
