Couple more shots of the engine and a quick video of the engine running, if your interested in hearing the side winder exhaust with kadrons.

Haha....not so clean when we started :) I think ben's engine has been on a high calorie/saturated fats diet for quite some time as it had a bad case of clogged arteries/atherosclerosis. Fortunately after a week of intensive treatment, looks like it will avoid stroke/angina/heart attack and should live a relatively healthy life. Happy days.
