Well you could be further; you could be back in Europe!

In the picture it looks like you've got the IP over at a sharp angle - what's going on there then? Am I just imagining it?

Awesome job! Glad to hear it is running. Army, where are you with that stopwatch? Don't tell me you are sleeping!

I think porting a stock engine would be a waste of time. This is a well engineered engine not some quick and dirty crap job engine with all sorts of compromises to save a nickel.

Falling asleep...

In my time zone you get these times=>

Clock started 08-16-2012, 10:53 PM

in post #19

Clock stopped prematurely in post 32 so ignore that

Clock stopped 08-18-2012, 2:11 AM

in post #33

Total time break down between the time stamps is

16th August = 1 hour 7 mins
17th August = 24 hours
18th August = 2 hours 11 mins

I reckon 12 hours of work on the 17th in post #27 the guy has to eat and so forth...

...but that's a guess as I'm not sure how the start time of 7:45 mentioned in post #27 corresponds with peach parts server time!

So my guess about 14 hours starting with a stripped down engine.
