After all that stuff I got the engine pulled and the "new" borrowed engine installed. We'll see how it goes this weekend.
I borrowed the engine from the series director (cause he ain't using it) and according to him the engine has over 600 races on it.....
oh, and did I mention it has never been rebuilt nor have the valves ever been adjusted.....and he doesn't want me to adjust the valves either.....
I don't have a reason to ditrust the guy but 600 seems like alot. I could see maybe 150 or so but damn!!
Supposedly this is the first sealed engine created for legends cars.....
We'll see how it goes. It may end up being "the little engine that couldn't" if you know what I mean. Luckily we are running a track this weekend that isn't a big horsepower track....more handling.
I hope to take the head off my other engine to see how bad the valves are. Maybe it's not as bad as I am told!
I will take a picture of it but the exhaust can mounting slot on my old cam is huge, it looks as if someone was realling trying to mess with the timing. I didn't know they slotted those to adjust the timing. I wish there was just a way you could use a timing light to see what your advance actually is (like the big motors).
Thank you again for everybodies help!!
