TNT 3-20-11 *Update 4-4-11 Good News

Not a bad day until run #6. I think I broke a rocker arm. 6.11 and 6.12 all the rest of the runs. The air was not near as good as last time when I ran 6.06. I guess I'l never see 6.00 with this motor.


4-4-11 Got it apart tonight and I have good news. I can't find anything wrong except a polyloc backed off on #4, exhaust. It was a turn and half loose. All the rest were a little loose. I took the rocker off and inspected it well and could find nothing wrong. I checked the pushrod and spring and all looks perfect. It looks like I'm KY. bound in 4 weeks.

Oh and also found the lock nut backed off my throttle pedal stop. It was a turn and a half toward the pedal off full throttle. It's always the stupid crap you never think to check with me. I will not get to test again before Ky. so look out, it might just run 5's after all.

Thanks
Kerry

Kerry,

I'm sorry to hear about your bad luck. If, if you broke a rocker arm, there is a good chance that you may have bent a valve also(above the guide). Please check your heads over, and if you bent a valve let me know, I'll take care of you. Or if you want, just send me the heads and I'll check them out and repair as necessary.
