Well, the motor let go in the lights at Capitol tonight. Ran rough to the turnoff, then quit with water pouring out of the driver's header after Kevin got it stopped. DRE diaper did it's job if anything came through the pan or block (haven't pulled it yet). Water poured out of #1 and #3 plugs with #1 having a flattened electrode. Valvetrain looks OK, but the motor is locked solid. Will get it apart next weekend with pics. And we had one more points race with the 422 series

Bummer as I did not see that. Gary ended up winning it all. Ron
Glad to hear Gary won it. If the payout was like last year he probably got $800.
Add $200. to that. He was very happy. Ron

Rockville Ring & Bearing did the heads, Burtonsville did the shortblock. Rockville said the guides were OK; seats were touched up when the new valves were purchased. Guides were new when we got the heads. They were in the trunk of a 63 max wedge Dodge from California that a friend bought. Will probably let Burtonsville do the heads next time...

Springs are Trick Flow with seat/open pressure spec'd for the cam (MP 590). I checked them before installation. Valves are Ferrea 6217 & 6250.

Ouch, sorry to hear of these failures.
I don't think the MP 590 needs a lot of spring pressure, but what were the actual installed numbers? (130/330?). Check the spring to see if it is broke, and if not, the current pressures. Since it broke at the finish line, what was the max RPM?
