Default Couple of questions

DAVID GAGNARD David I was looking at the pictures and Jerry beat me to the question about rod bolt stretching before installing, Did you do this 5 times? Other question is if you are going to road race the car, either option would help, add a 3 quart accusump to the car to help keep oil pressure up in the high "G" turns or go DRY SUMP. I don't think the spinning helped the motor, and have done the same thing as you with 100 mph spinout and trying to get both feet on the pedals. Looking at the 2 rod bolts there looks like a stretching issue. The bearing didn't weld it self to the crank, so I would also look at the oil pressure on the motor. Just because the oil pressure gauge reads 50 psi at that location doesn't mean there is 50 psi at the far end of the block. Block, crank and rods are junk IMO upper end will need to be checked for straightness of mounting surfaces, Valves being bent and heads not being cracked,( high pressure test). Gald you and the car are in 1 piece. You must be getting slow, On my spinouts, I had the time to call God, Jesus, Buda, and look out for the trees and walls. The shakes took 10 minutes to go away Worst part was I did this twice in the same corner within 30 minutes of each other. Got smart, changed underwear and called it a day.Rick L.
