Man - what a beautiful - and certainly temperamental - car. At least it has a double row timing chain...

Cheers

You have to wonder why it has a cracked piston with only 4,000 miles on the rebuild? A little over built?

Or tuned too lean...

That's not my definition of over built, rather the contrary. As others mentioned, it probably wasn't tuned correctly. Too much boost and/or not enough fuel.
