TIGER6 You should call Old Jack and see what they say. I wouldn't tell them you where roadracing. They may want to see the motor and then deciede if they will honor the warranty. If not pull the engine apart and see what the damage is. Check the heads, block, crank damage, everything. If you are going to continue to road race you had better go to a dry sump oiling system on your car. You checked the oil level but what was the pressure?? You should get an oil pressure low switch and mount it on your dash. It comes on when the pressure drop to a perset number and warns you. All that roadracing and hard G turns is probablity what caused the rod failure. I fill my canton pan an extra 1 1/2 quarts over full when road racing for just this problem. Long sweeper are where the most damage is done. Get yourself and accusump 3 quart also, for peroiling on startup and roadracing. Just remember to turn it on and off. Good luck Rick Lake
