This was based on the GM price of $14,000 you indicated to the teams could be the price for pistons and rods dependant on availability.
It is a known FACT that some of the teams have been forced to spend money on some of these upgrades, and not as you have put by "it's not unusual to spend money freshening that engine"
If you are quoting FACTS, then please answer my earlier question
"Of the 14 engines you indicated will be in service this weekend that have not yet been serviced (against your recommendations) please advise the number of those 14 that have had only the mains and big ends replaced."
It is a known FACT that more than 6 engines you have indicated, have either been replaced, blueprinted or had some form of internals replaced, I would call any of that servicing.

You and every other poster knows who I am, and most know how to get hold of me if they want to.
If you want to continue this attempt at a public inquisition, then I suggest that you declare who you are, and what team you are obviously with, on this forum, instead of hiding behind an alias, and I will happily debate it with you on the that basis.
If you dont want to publicly reveal who you are, then I invite you to email me your questions, and I will respond as long as I know to whom I am responding, otherwise this is my last post on the subject.
My email is
mark@v8supertourers.co.nz which I suspect you well know anyway.
Mark Petch.
Technical Director,
V8 Supertourers Limited.
