Is the motor on its way back home? Also, what is the current theory (theories?) about the potential cam issues?

it's more conclusion than theory at this point, fly. one of the kelford cams is defective and has to make a round trip to new zealand via axis motors. i'll get an update from jeremy tomorrow.

meanwhile, i ordered a new v1 for me
(my old one is going to hilary. she got nailed with another cell phone ticket. she was used to having my v1 in her element and i took it to houston with me last week. she wants to know where the cops are (isfh)
and a garmin nuvi 350 for just $430.

A relatively simple part from the other side of the world, defective out of the box? Sheesh, this must be almost an "out of body" experience by now. I mean, common', what's next? An ECU destroyed by solar flare?

You deserve a BIG break, amigo.

Bruce
i picked up a Nuvi660 the other month. it works great. we do a lot of biz trips to La and other confusing places. never let us down. the 660 also has a built in traffic nav. that works great in the parkinglot known as So Cal.

god sent me to iwsti to be an example to all those that would take an almost perfect street car and morph it into the perfect streetworthy time attack monster. the first round of challenges with my crawford motor with all it's high emotonal drama made me numb to it all now. i just have to keep my heart on standby until we're up and running again. it's sad but absolutely necesary. if youre going to be stoopit you beter be tough. no surrender, baby.

if the cops catch you on a hand held cell phone while driving in the socialist experiment that is ny and nj, they stop you and write you for a ticket. we're doomed.
