How about sending the customer a new set of SOHC heads? Did you see that head and the porosity issues?
Where does it say Damage drove his new engine and Kirkham above and beyond the capabilities of the engine?

Saying out loud that Keith intentionally sent an engine out knowing it was going to have a problem is ridiculous. He did not know he had bad parts.
No one would do that. Certainly not someone with Keith's reputation. So Keith has made thousands of engines and on this one he went nuts and totally changed eveything he has ever done and his reputation to this point holds no sway with you. He gets no benefit of the doubt, but Damage, everything he says is taken as gospel. You are naive, it is laughable.
I could blow an engine up in one mile if I did something stupid.
Aluminum castings have porosity issues, it is a well known fact to anyone that deals with them. I worked for one of the big three for 15 years in the parts and performance department, my neighbor is an engine platform manager for one of the big three. Aluminum castings are normally treated for porosity. Someone posted a link to a vendor who does that, did you miss that. Why do you think that vendor exists? I don't think you have the expertise to comment on this. When you buy a low run exotic casting you are asking for trouble.
Keith assumed he got good parts from his vendors and now he is paying for it. Damage does not react in a rational way. His build thread had many examples of it.
