Not looking good!

I received a call from Steve tonight with some bad news, the crank cases from my spare engine had to be machined out to accommodate the larger barrel, then Steve realised the cases did not have a breather. So the cases went back to his engineers who carried out the job there and then. But when Steve started putting the engine together he found a bearing retainer plate was missing! The original cases were slightly different and therefore could not be used. I have contacted the Company I got the cases from to see if they still have the part, but as its the bank Holiday weekend I doubt if I will get a reply before Tuesday! What with the extra expense of having the cases machined I have exceeded this months budget already and I have serious doubts to whether the bike will actually be ready for the first race in 2 weeks time, especially if we come across further snags.

Oh well chin up, catch you soon
