yesterday i started my car to unload it at the track. when it started there was a loud tick/knock. long story short, the timing belt jumped and that loud noise was valve slap. i put the timing back and the car ran like nothing happened.

in the heat race it jumped time agian. i had like 30 min. untill the main. i made the main and got black flag.


how lucky am i.

I got my "good" crank back from the machine shop today. Pollishing won't do it. Needs to be machined. Taking my "bad" crank there to be machined tomorrow.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
