Very sad to hear Sammy,

For the last two or three events Sammy has been the rabbit that none of us can catch. He made everthing look "soooooo" easy we didn't think he was going as fast as he was. I hope you get everything back together soon.

New engine back from Keith
 
Continuing the aftermath .. new short block was required, saved the heads, valves, Erson roller rockers, manifold, water pump, front cover. Installed new Aviaid Cobra 10 qt road race pan with tray. H-beam rods, steel crank, Precison blueprinted oil pump with 120# spring. Stayed with the mild roller cam. It made 591 HP - 604 TQ on Keith's dyno.

Beginning to put all this crap back in the goose ...

Crank, note burned up rod journals ...

#2 piston, I think ...

The piston was all I kept, no room here for unusable stuff. So the failure mode was rod bearing failure due to insufficient lubrication at high rpm .. duh!. But I am still unsure of the role of the water vapor in the right side exhaust and the fouled #3 plug in the immediate prior track session.

Anyway .. stop by if you want to see this going back into #745 :D

Glad to see you got the engine back together. I just ran across this thread. Did you get it installed this weekend?

I'll be in process all week. Have had a slow go of it due to the heat and having to re-align the bellhousing to the new block. Got that done today. Need to dry fit the tranny first, then will drop the motor, maybe Thurs.
