Break time
Finally quit raining on race night
So, took a break from working on the 72 dart.
Took the 70 more door to the track
have been running 6.84 @ 30* timing
Decided to bump the timing to 34*
95*.... track temp 130*
spinning the tires> new 325-50 x 15
let air down more to 16lbs
buddy says still spinning/smoking the right rear/ half track
I say NO Way> spool
car has slowed to 7.13
I thought it was due to the hot outside temp/ track
next pass
smoke pours out of the car, at the end of the track
load up go home
pull plugs... right side # 4 don't look good> oil
pulled the valve cover still can't see anything
next morning, pull the head
at least it wasn't a piston
#6 was also pushing the gasket
Felpro 1008
didn't hurt the head
still gonna make a very light cut to be sure it's flat
Wonder if I should go to a MLS head gasket
comp is 14-1
running E85
Break time is over
Time to pull the other side
also while the heads are off
gonna verify the timing mark is correct on the balancer
