He could not get methanol for the water/meth so they decided to disconnect the water/meth and pull back the timing......it did not work, it seems the timing was still too high, car detonated but he did not reallise so piston 1 burnt.....had to redo the engine or that one piston....can't remember.....

But now it's sorted and HE WANTS TO GET IT TUNED properly before murphy steps in again.....

He burnt piston 1....the car detonated and burnt the piston, it was setup with the water/meth, then no water/meth.......well the rest is history

That is why I dont rely on w/m, for these very reasons. Rather stick with a safe tune and give up 5kw rather than burning the motor.
