My R8 blew its engine today......
Discussion
Just got the call today to say my car is finally sorted - they just need to give it an oil change after it's initial 'shakedown' drive and re-gas the aircon. There was a few issues over the engine map and security codes, but all is well now and i'm going to pick it up Thursday morning.
Yeah can't wait to drive it Mick - haven't seen it for about 6 weeks! They didn't need the code in the end Dennis - they contacted Walkinshaw who were good enough to supply them with the original engine map that was on my car before I had the cam done.

Now, that's what I call a knackered vxr8 engine.....
Other than the cam/lifters and broken tensioner, looks mostly ok on the other photos.Was it an original or uprated cam and lifters ?
And broken tensioners arent that unusual. The notion of a tensioner in there like that is good, but not when they arent totally reliable. Just revert back to the old black dampener as they call it bolted in between the two gears.
