I regret in posting this,,but I know some of you are interested in this project. After getting the bugs out of the fuel system, the testing progressed well and it was time for some 'real' laps. The third afternoon of tests ended in disaster. #3 rod decided to go elsewhere...I am not sure just what happened yet. I will do an autopsy when I get the motor in the shop. It appears, by looking in the hole, that a rod bolt broke and let the cap come up on one side and,,,it went down hill from there. The motor had about 3 hours running time on it and was making some serious power. 40-50 hot laps and we were all excited with the performance.
