Bummer

Oh well I think I have Killed the engine, Something has let go, Burnout time at North weald, 7k, flicked off the line lock, and the car coasted to a halt, Tried starting it, engine turned over, but would not fire, Got pushed to the side, First thing the Startline marshal said, Bet your drive pin in the dissy has gone, and taking the cap off sure enough, the dissy was not turning over with the engine,

Long push back up the pits, and pull the dissy, but to my disapointment, the dissy came out intact turn the engine over again look down the dissy hole and turn the engine over again and the cam does not appear to turn over So we have now narrowed it down to broken double roller cam chain or gears. key in cam or crank faild, Or nose of Cam or Crank broken off, what ever it is, the oil pump will have stopped and there will be Valve damage as well,

Ian

Soz to here that Ian....had to happen soon, get that 302 in there

[V8ian]

Lets face it, I have never had an engine that has had SOOOOOO much abuse at 7k and hung together, it had to happen sooner or later, 5 years of some serious abuse, 100s of runs up the stripand very rarely off the rev limiter on street or strip.
