[DeTomaso] MME Engine Failure

[Charles McCall]

In the case of the second engine, Mikael Hass' engine, no. 

Or it may have had them, I don't know, but htat wasn't the cause of failure.


It would appear that a roller rocker failed, which allowed the valve to drop
into the engine. It wasn't the classic problem of a stock, two-piece valve
separating, the failure mode was different.

I don't want to appear sinacle in any way but when are you gentlemen going 
to realize that it does not matter what kind of reputation a person or shop 
has if there is a hack out in the shop or if they use substandard parts to 
save a buck.  Now I believe that the owner himself is more than likely an 
intelligent person. It is when you get all the BEAN COUNTERS in there do 
problems arise.
