Same with a Lakewood

In my car the flywheel exploded and the boltheads were pulled through the Lakewood housing. My Lakewood ended up looking very similar to the one in the picture. Mine went on the 3/4 shift. Cut the steering and the brakes.

"OMG I'M never gonna run a Lakewood omg! the ceo must be a liar, and cheats!" I wonder how many of these would show up... not as many as the Quicktime, hah.

I have no concerns whatsoever in running a Quicktime set up in our car (soon to be car in a month, yay).

People get so caught up in the littlest, inconsequential, blown out of proportion, things on the internet it is ridiculous.

**Edit: Also, I'm not an engineer but I totally agree (after reading that first thread) that the bolts/block failed in that situation, and also with this new Lakewood incident. BUT, I'm not going to continue talking about that event **
