0. Impressive for the crazy stupid **** I do to them, amusing that people seem to blow them just by looking at them however, or people who go through 4 engines in one month, never did quite figure out that one.

Always learning the hard way. Engine was rebuild around november 2003, broken in on stock ECU, haltech E11V1 installed may 2004, blown during tuning, rebuild next day, broken in and blown again during tuning (7 days after first blew up). After that i took a break for about 20 days, went to Cyprus, borrowed E6K from George and after getting back home, rebuild it again, installed E6K and i am running on E6K now.

2. First one blew driving it home from buying it. The guy did a poor rebuild, and the side seals siezed in the front rotar. Dropped in a used jspec, drove great for 2 months, blew a month ago. Apex seal failure from what I can tell. So I bought another jspec, with the intention of dropping it in, and driving the car while I rebuild the other one, but theis one has such a deep sratch on the housing near the exasut port I'm not going to chance it. I'm just rebuilding it now. Glad I have Mom's car to drive for a while!
