Default Clarification on my IA2 block...

Since it's been brought up recently, I'd like to clarify the issue with my broke failure. In all fairness to AP, my block did not "fail". I caused that block to crack due to poor decisions I made. The torque converter that I installed for that motor had incorrectly broached splines, which caused it to not move freely on the input shaft. Shortly, after we started making passes in the car, the #4 main(thrust) cracked, due to the force of the torque converter binding up against the crank. If it wasn't for this, that block would have lasted forever for my power level.

Very dumb, very expensive mistake...

Not many guys, especially on this board, would admit that it was their mistake that caused the issue. Thanks for the honestly
