Was going to try for a new best today,,,DA was very good,,,so we headed to Beech Bend for some racing.... First pass was fine,,,in fact,,,got a 1.41 60',,,they were only running 1/8 mile today,,,,and the car seemed ok... Second run,,,normal burnout....but felt like it spun hard off the line,,,,,pulled second,,,,and BANG,,,,,felt like someone was hitting the underside of the car with a hammer...pulled over quick,,,and shut it off..... Fire coming out of the passenger side collector,,,,nothing under the hood,,,,,put out the collector,,,,nothing major.... I thought i broke the rear end.... the driveshaft was still intact,,,and no leaks anywhere under the car,,,,,towed back to the trailer,,,,winched it up,,,and got home.... Pulled the valvecover's,,,and this is what i see...oil/water mixture coated on the inside,,,,, Checked the rockers,,,,and note,,,i am now MISSING 4 pushrods,,,,they are gone.... Pulled the intake and valley pan off,,,,,,stuff all over the place,,,total carnage.... (lifter broken in half,,,rod bolts,,,part of a rod,,,shrapnel,,,lifter bore broke off,,,and the middle of the cam is GONE.....with the center portion of the block blown out.... missing cam... I was "thinking" of a 572 at somepoint in the future....but wasnt planning on doing it this way.... Still have to pull the motor,,,and the heads,,,and see what they look like,,,,, I hope i didnt trash the heads as well.....

Dang Doug, REAL sorry to hear/see that. Do you have any guesses what let go first? I'd guess a rod.

Sorry to hear about the loss of the motor. At least it did it at the end of the year rather than the beginning.

Ouch, that sucks man Looks like it pitched a rod, then sawed the cam in half. At least you didn't oil down your slicks and hurt the car or yourself.

Code Red, Doctor Doug, scrub up. . Sorry about the loss, Doctor. Hate hearing the news , Doug. Sorry. At least you did not hurt or damage the car, driving through oil. Might be time for a Koleno block. Sorry again.

Ouch. That hurts. As said, glad it all stayed in the engine, and at least it wasnt a mega $$$ aftermarket block, if you want to look on the bright side.
