I built one engine which ended up with only .033 clearance and if we buzzed the engine to 7500 rpm, when we got to the pits, the engine was knocking. We thought we had stretched a rod bolt. We were so dissapointed. We went and watched the races and then after 20 minutes came back to hear it but the noise was gone, so we continued racing and kept the revs to 6500 and all was well. So obviously the rods had stretched but after cooling down, shortened up again. Wild
This year we will be taking it apart and installing thicker head gaskets.Last edited by TyphoonZR; 12-19-2006 at 09:07 AM.
Objects in my rear view mirror are a good thing unless,.... they have red and blue lights flashing.

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
