The Bad luck continues for the King

Just got off the phone w/Dan. He said he thinks he lost a lifter tonight. Car started missing on return rd.and he took valve cover off and he thinks the lifter may have broke in half. Poor guy,he's having a terrible year. Keep your head up Dano. Its gotta get better,can't get any worse.

Dan,
That really bites the big one. If I have anything you can use just holler.

Would that damage the short bus block? Or is it just a lifter?

Hopin your luck turns around soon man!!

Bill

This sucks! At this point I am very uneasy about putting my 466 together. It seems like everyone has been getting bitten in the butt lately by their motor. Goon luck Dan, I hope this is the last of the bad luck you've been having.

Man Dan you might want to put the bird back in it nest and pull the pony out of the stable and give it a work out for a while.Its your moey maker ant it?j/k
Maybe it not anything bad good luck

Rick ,it can always get worse...I'm just hoping it didn't wipe out the cam ...That little engine was haulin ass. if I had an 8" convertor it would go some 60's. This is getting old though. I hope it turns around someday soon , it sure ain't much fun anymore

This thing had to break a lifter ,it's dropped way to far down to have lost the bearings out of the roller. I'll find out this weekend??

Dang Dan that really sucks.

That is just something that happens with race engines , you take the risk every time you press that pedal. It can be repaired Dan , don't worry about it .

no! not the short bus too!Dan you could #%$$ up an anvil. realy hate to hear it Dan,you've had some shitty luck for sure.hope it's not too bad.

Its the Chad factor...........

If you got no troubles, you ain't racin' or hotroddin'. Dan is just racin' more than most. Hang in there, Dan-o, you'll turn the corner.

Oh, wait....If you're drag racing, I guess turning a corner would be another bad thing. nm

damn DanO, WHAT THE FU*K MAN!! I still have that cam if you need it bro!!

you should have taken this eddy out of my garage Dan-o

Parts fail,no matter new /old or who's car they are in.They just don't like Dan's bird

Frickin lifter broke...looks like it may have lock a wheel and then the cross bar broke and let it spin around sideways and it broke the whole bottom of the lifter off. New set of of Comp Cam lifters this year with less than 50 passes on them.........You just gotta love this shit!!

OUCH sorry for the bad luck Dan.....


Randy

Is the cam still okay? I hope so, you need as much good luck as possible at this point. Murphy's law needs to quit picking on you.

No ,the cam is history too. You don't break a lifter and save the cam. Gonna be lucky if the bearing are ok.

I figured the lifter at some point turned 90 degrees so it was sideways and destroyed the lobe. I hope that's all that is messed up and nothing more. Have you been pushing your car to higher rpm's lately or something? It all seems strange but from what I've heard you race a TON.

Dam Dan if you don't quit having such bad luck your gonna have to get another job to help pay for the gremlins you have happening.....


Randy

After tearing it down ,it looks more like the cross bar broke 1st. The needle bearings and axle look like new ,but they are all in the pan..Just more Bad Luck...I already need a 2nd job to finance this thing...It's been all out go on it all year.

Dan, did you get my p.m.?

Dan,I don't know what your intentions are but Mike Barker (Goinpostal)has I think 2 brand new lifters and cross bars

Damn Dan this bad luck has to stop. Take care buddy and I hope things get better for ya. I got a few used cams and maybe some lifters and tie bars laying around if you can use any of it let me know...
