I appreciate your post Keith. The issues that made this bullet self destruct would not have been seen with 3 or 5 dyno pulls.

I understand what you are saying,but a lot of problems with valvetrain can be found on a dyno that you won't see or feel at the track. That,and he should have had a pretty good idea of how the engine should have run as far as power and tq. curves go,and been able to see an issue before it became a major problem.
Just an opinion,but am really sorry to see anybody have major issues. Yes everybody makes mistakes,myself included. It is how we handle these mistakes that seperate us.
