Waiting 13 months to have an engine built when I was 20 changed my mindset. And the only reason it wasn’t longer was I told him to keep the engine when it was finished. I would sacrifice the 600.00 which was big money back then to make a point. What really cooked my goose was my cousin (a dirt track racer) was having issues and I told him about “Bill”. Well guess what “Bill” built an engine for him, before mine was done. I lost a good friend that day but I got the books out and started reading. I’m not what you would call a smart man but I was smart enough not to put up with that crap. I became the go to guy for degreeing in cams for friends and people in town and never charged a cent. I hate second guessing and it would kill me to not know why an engine wasn’t running as it should.
