Got the wagon together Thursday, fired up and running Friday, loaded and ready for the race on Saturday.
Made one pass, started to break up at 1000ft mark. Gave up and brought it back to the trailer and pulled the plugs. All was well, except for #1. It was kinda rust red colored.
Looks like the engine is coming out. It's got issues. Cracked cylinder? Deck? I couldn't find anything when I had the heads off. I carefully looked at each cylinder best I could and found no apparent cracks. The heads are only hand worked 23 yrs ago so highly doubt any issue there.
Might be looking for a block? I'm going to try to get it torn down today some, not sure if I get it pulled too? Time will tell. I'm out of commission for awhile. I'm good with it. I've gotten 19 consecutive yrs of racing on that NOS block, it has paid its dues.
