Oh yeah, I would never do anything without a full boil out and 
magnaflux. I assume too that Barney wouldn't save junk, but he might if 
it contained information he wanted...

The sleeving here is odd in that it was to reduce the bore and thicken 
the walls. It's quite spotless, thin film of oil and no carbon at all. 
The R&D head too, it was run, some darkening, but it was clearly cleaned 
and oiled. I didn't really say the extreme level of polish on all 
working surfaces.

Oh yeah, and this motor if run hard was stressed, it must have run half 
detonating all the time.

SC Dyno Sim says that with 22psi boost with a T04 turbo (fairly sure 
that was on it) around 500 hp at 6000, torque peak around 4000. Sounds 
about right. So maybe the boosts were not the crazy numbers I keept 
hearing (the Wally Park museum said 100psi for 750hp!)
