Relax man. I was just poking a little fun at "Ol' Ron". I myself am a great fan of run stands, and have a lot invested in mine. I wouldn't be without it. I had a problem once with a fresh build that was a simple repair on the stand, but would have required pulling the engine out of the car had I gone that way. The engine currently on the stand is going to get an oil pump swap which should put some finality into the question of whether Speedway oil pumps are any good. Because this engine is currently on my test stand, this will be a pretty easy exercise, which I would probably not take if the engine had been installed in a car.

Sorry if I roiled anyone's feathers; I was just having a little fun.
