Gee Sean, that's a shite bit of luck you had with the engine - I hope the replacement works out.

Jaysus, right bummer altogether. Glad you got to the bottom of it though.
When this gets sorted I think we'll have to have a "launch" party :lol: :lol:

I remember seeing that engine in the crate and thinking.....that's a funny place for the dipstick, shouldn't it be down the side towards the back instead of up front.
Ah well, he'll be boosting again soon :D
