Talked with the guys at aircooled engineering today, I wanted to find ouf they can bore some cylinders for me. Told me yes they could do that work, got to talking with them and found out they also can do my heads. They are local to me, so tomorrow I'm gonna take my heads and cylinders down to them and see if they can do the work. Be a real bonus to find someone here locally that can do that kind of work and do it well. They have a good reputation.

But Im always up for a new challenge, Keeps me excited and interested..


Thats been my key to success as well. when complacency sets in and you become too aware of your surrounding you become like all the other people "that have bbeen doing this for 30 years".

Wanting diversity is how I got involved in the TIV... We are continuing to push the envelope with the TIV and are making more strides now than ever before- Hell it's been 7 weeks since I tested an engine that made less than 250 HP :-)

I need help from people like Art to keep the ball rolling while I take time away for a couple of years to put into the M96 engine as well as my videos and other TIV and M96 reference materials and on premises workshops and training courses.

Someone in the SLC region needed to support the TIV, I have dozens of engines and kits in that area and a big following that has had no support for years locally.

Welcome to this world, Art.... I'll do my best to keep you motivated when you hit those snags that are always encountered when people with a TI background start playing with the "Big Block".
