    God help you! I'm in the process of completing one myself (after 36 years in the same place). A nightmare!

    Likewise..... 28 years here. Moving the machine tools, fixtures, engines, and parts is way worse than the house!

    Hi Tim, staying in MI ? I miss attending Mark's AOMC meet, so much racing history displayed. Have missed many of your MAD machinest displays at Mark's.

    In as much as Tim is having trouble uploading pictures, I will upload the engine mock up photos that he has forwarded to me by email.

    It is a really nice looking package looking forward to seeing it run.

    Default Many thanks

    Many thanks to Dick Austin for posting images. The 888 looks fearsome, and will run early fall; a move will delay completion. More images and detail will be posted as progress occurs. Have a fun summer, and always remember: The throttle works both ways! Tim

    Can you give us a precis on how it works, crankcase compression ratio zero, so boost overcomes that, is that it?
