race against time and mother nature
We'll good news...
Joe at Danbury Comp, took my engine back with great ease to investigate what caused the distb. gear to fail. Within 10 days, he had the motor torn-down, checked for collateral damage, and re-assembled. No visiable damage to bearing or cylinder walls, etc. The cam was replaced with an Isky cam similar to the Crower, the high volume, high pressure oil pump was replaced with a standard Ford Motoco. Cobra Jet unit, a new distb. gear was installed with modifications to both the gear and shaft for direct oil lubrication. Since it's a nice day, I might leave work early and take the drive from New Haven to Danbury to pick it up. From there I hope to have it installed back in the car by 12/16/02. (I took the entire car apart to clean everything while the engine was being repaired). If all works out, I might get one last ride in 2002 - pending snow and ice. It's been so long since I drove the Cobra, I'm begining to think the 4.3 in my S10 has a lot of power. |
