Brian,
We see what the results were... and I'm sure there's more to tell.
What's the back story? :rolleyes:
Best of luck with the repair amigo. Knowing you, it's already half done.

Ted,
Thanks for asking. It doesn't smoke, there isn't any clanking, clatter, or banging, the valves are operating properly, there isn't any water in the oil...... with all that said, my best guess is a head-gasket, although there is normal compression in #5 and #7.
To be honest, I've stepped away from it for a while.

Broken valve spring - a new one is in the mail. :D |

B, here they are. Yep, me too. It happens. Year-1 with my ERA back in early 2002 I installed upgraded 4x4 offroad chromoly axles and spider gears in mine after twisting both shafts and disintegrating the spider gears into 44 separate pieces (in a Dana 44, hahahah) with one good launch at Sac Raceway. Wont' do that again.
New axles and spiders:

You get the lucky NorCal Cobras owner award for the year. That's it, just a broken valve spring! That's great news Phil. |
