HSSSS, my fuel injection project has turned into an engine rebuild. I was at the point of fitting the throttle bodies to the engine in car when I replaced the plugs and noticed one of them nearly closed shut. It was a piston that broke apart, presumebly from going lean at the last track event. The number one cylinder always seems to suffer from fuel starvation on track, it was a blown #1 head gasket at Roebling and now this. Anyway, I just got the new piston set from KC and am about to start putting it back together. After I reinstall the engine I still have to make it run with an untested fuel injection system and distributorless ignition system. Also new is a fuel cell with internal pump and surge tank to resist fuel starvation on track.
It will suck badly if we don't make it to the March event, wonder if Rob has any extra cars?
Let me know if you want any help when you get yours ready for the engine installation, if work allows I'd be glad to help.
