Sorry to hear that it's finally done what any sensible engine would do given the abuse you give it!

I for one would be more than happy if my build gave me the same service yours has - mines only done about 3k miles and turns out to have a valve stem oil leak so will be having the heads looked at later this year. The build in your car has performed admirably and given the power its running and the way it's been driven has been truly amazing and it just goes to show that a small failure of a simple part can easily cause major issues when you are pushing the envelope!
