So do we get to know what's in it?
Nope. No offense, but No matter what is in it it wont be the right this or that. Wont be good enough or will be overkill. This wont create enough that. Grease used will be wrong color and smell. The wrench used wasnt what everyone else uses, And so on. I posted this pic because I am excited to be getting my second speedster. I am excited that Roland is building the motor and I am excited that Kirk built the car. Whats in it is not up for debate but what we felt was right for me. There is another thread where everyone is giving opinions...you know all the other engine builders who built 300 motors last year...
So whats in it? A cam, a crank, some this and that and hopefully some oil... Just my day in the sun...thats the reason for the post!
I am not a motor guy, but that looks pretty awesome to me.... I don't really know what that thing is, but I like that it's shiny and looks BIG!!! Enjoy....
How can we tell you what you did wrong if you won't give us all the details? 
Seriously, you can't go wrong listening to Roland.

That's some funny stuff, right there. Excellent! I'm glad you're getting what you want. Ordering a new speedster once you've had one to cut your teeth on makes the building experience that much more enjoyable.
Enjoy your day in the sun! 
Good for you! The only one you have to make happy is you. You wrote the check, you get to choose what you want. Looks like you will be having some great times.
TDR: Best post ever.
Sweet. Just plain sweet. You know, in today's age of technology and hype, some things are just clean. I'm 52 and I remember the joy of rebuilding a VW engine when I was kid and the first run up -just special.
After all these years, I'm really happy to get back to something so pure. Maybe I'm being too dramatic but it really is a cool thing.
You're right, TDR; as long as you're happy is all that matters!
I was just asking because every once in a while I learn something from the way someone else does it...
How exciting!
You know, you really should have stepped back a foot to get a better picture...
Just kidding

Yup.. it was well put.
Glad he's going to enjoy this new toy!
Roland is a pro and knows what he's doing; don't worry, be happy and enjoy!
Looking good Todd, happy for you!
