The engine was tested and sealed by Supercars
The spec sheet that Supercars generated for the engine before qualifying was withing the limits.

The engine was then changed because it was dropping water into the combustion chambers.

Supercars has confirmed that they could only do 2 runs on the Dyno before getting water vapour present, and the engine produced no more than the specified power.
Was the minute increase in lift caused by the overheating?
Why do Supercars measurements differ between sealing the engine and breaking their own seals to re-open it?

Why would the specs have changed?

Looks like Supercars didn't like what happened at Bathurst and set about a witch hunt to try and disqualify DJR.

Seems as stupid as it just brings the whole sport into disrepute and damages their own brand.
