Good luck.
Yeah, it did run off its numbers the last time I actually raced it. It was in the final round 2 weeks ago. I had dialed 4.45 and the car ran 4.53. So that's 7 hundredths off, and that's just unheard of for this car. So yeah, evidentally, whatever has happened started happening then, but like I said, the car never showed any signs of a rod getting ready to break, lol. Usually, when that's gettin ready to happen, you can hear them knock, and they will loose oil pressure. This one did niether.

Cassie, lol, I may have jinxed myself, but this is just a normal thing for race engines, lol. I mean its going to happen sooner or later. Now this one should'n thave let go like it did, especially since it gave no symptoms, but I guess you can say shit happens, lol.

LOL. You're probably right, lol.

I'll keep ya guys updated. We should be tearing it down in the next day or two and then I'll know just how bad it is. I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope it didn't get my heads, because they are high dollar.
