It finally broke. The old Corsa was doing 9200 rpm up the straight at Snetterton racetrack, when one of the con rods decided to come out and say hello. Then, to add insult to injury, the oil coming out of the 4" round hole in the front of the block, decided to catch fire on the exhaust. Good easter this turned out to be

Such a shame to see it. Revett straights well long, would have been interested to see what top speed u were pulling at the end of the straight. Wouldn't you consider putting a redtop in it or is that against regulations?

Even if it is allowed, a standard engine in any class is not competitive.

2.0 16v red top with his throttle bodies on it would certainly perform pretty decently
