Not Ranked
Well I did blow some oil out of the valve cover vent recently and was running 20-50.
But wait, there's more!!! That was at SAAC-35 on the track. I wanted to try out 2nd gear at max rpm through a couple of corners, just to see how the motor liked that, or didn't like it. I was fully prepared to accept it might blow. It didn't! Man that thing was rocking and NOT knocking! Ye Haw, awesome running 5500-6500 rpm through those corners,,, uh,,, thats when I noticed the smoke. I was running about a half quart over full (for the corner issues with oil moving or whatever) and it got some oil on the headers.
I thought I was in trouble, but no big deal, wiped it down and ran third the rest of the weekend. 
Pretty much fried the rear brakes though, got to get some ventilation going for those inboards. |
