Again...

Someone please prove that this was absolutely the bellhousing's fault.

To be perfectly fair, I can't prove that it wasn't.

However, common sense, an engineering background, and a sense of reality tells me that if the thing that you bolt the bellhousing to isn't strong enough to hold it, then the bellhousing can't do its job.

When they SFI test them, they don't bolt them to a block, they rigidly bolt them to a test fixture.

Also, everyone seems to be skirting around the fact that there was a Lakewood incident (a manufacturer that hasn't changed their design in decades) that mimicked the exact incident that we're speaking about with the Quicktime.

Yet no one wants to acknowledge that.

Interesting.
