[RICK LAKE]

Guys you ALL need to relook at this video and pictures.
Here's what I see
1 An 800 hp motor with an non SFI flywheel, this was stated at the start. We also DOn't know the weight of this flywheel. Could be 20# could be 45#, thats a big differents between explosions in a bell housing.
2 Unknown grade of fasteners on the motor to the bell housing
3 Cast iron block being pushed passed limits.
4 I see 3 ears broken off the block
5 This is another case of STUPID people running the show without Safety involved.
6 I started the problem of SFI with Quicktime 2 years ago. Had a couple of heated e-mails from the last CEO. He came clean on this SFI problem.
As far as the new bell housing, YOU the customer need to ask the question
"IS MY BELLHOUSING SFI CERTIFIED AND STAMPED". Bottom line is you get what you paided for. If a bellhousing cost $300.00, and it could be a lakewood there may be nothing wrong with it other than the date for the certification has expired and needs to be retested. I got 2 15 year old bells and have no fear of them not doing there job. One has already done the job of holding a blown disc in the can.
I like the fact that quicktime bells are about 20 lbs lighter than Lakewood.
I am buying a quicktime for my next motor. This bell did it's job to control the explosion in the can. I see block failure and fastener failure more than bellhousing. Rick L.
