Default There is still hope!
Got a msg today from the factory, pistons being finished up, supposedly in my hands middle of next week. That leaves about 2 1/2 weeks... I might have to take a couple days of work to devote to the build.

2nd, I'd give it a few hundred easy miles...and an oil analysis to see how things are going.

Default Yea, I thought that once.......
thought I'd use that few hundred miles to break in a clutch on my way to VIR. Didn't work out too well, the clutch chattered horribly after that. Good luck though dude!

Yeah, unlike the engine, a clutch break-in actually requires using the clutch :P
