Congratulations on getting together with Mike Forte to fix your problem Tony. Mike is The Best. Oddly enough a friend of mine is going through this exact same drama for the second time with a McLeod HTB in his GT-40. The last failure struck a week ago as we crested Topanga Canyon heading for PCH. I've been telling him to call Mike Forte for the real fix but I think he and his installer (it's a Superformance) are trying to contain costs by fixing what he has. I should tell him to read this. Seems like McLeod has a bit of a record of releasing faulty parts. A few years ago it was the steel bell housings that were making everybody crazy because the starter hole was screwed up due to the starter knockout being welded in wrong. Now it's the HTB that they claim is because of a bad batch of O rings they bought. That may account for the first one but we've been debating the second one. Hopefully they'll come up with a plan as good as yours.
