Thanks for the quick update Rich.
The issue was couched as a sustained high rpm run - I might think that
this could happen at any power level. I understand many items (lube,
condition, etc) could contribute.
Now that I think about this . . . all the races the Cobras ran (Lemans
etc) . . . I'd just never heard this before.

Mine has been working OK. But maybe faster cars have trouble. RF
