ability to cool / slow down heat process....

my poor choice of words....

No the gasket failed from the inside out. Aaron did you even have water in the cylinder when you took it apart?

I believe in a earlier post he said he had coolant in #4 or #1. Don't remember. But that would make since because it is passable that the pressure from the bad cylinder was enough to push coolant into the others.

#1 blew out, but #4 was full of water. the intake had water in it. the vac/boost lines have water. the AWIC has water in the air tract, as well.

the cyl closest to us in the video is #1. that is what torched.

and there is no real evidence of HG compromising around #4, or #3 or #2 for that matter. the destruction is out the front....

trust me, i know... it was impressive and scary at the same time. due to the fact that the fuel cell is up front there, i am glad it didnt blow up.

man Aaron, this whole saga really sucks for you. I can't wait to see the vids of it making evil noises at the drag strip. Oh, and you have one hell of a cute kid! At least it looks like he is still running strong :-D

What am I gonna be the last guy to here about this stuff?

speeding-g60 · Post by **speeding-g60** » Thu Nov 26, 2009 9:48 pm

sounds like tentatively a 10-15% off type deal. but its well into the $5k range now....

but i only know what i hear, and that is what he is trying to put together....

he said he will link me at the time, and i of course will thread it here if it is not already.

my sponsor will assemble the gearbox when i do get the parts....

and i am really looking forward to doing this. i feel i may have some better luck than Janis the Latvian MadMan (

) in keeping the trans alive as i am about 600+ pounds lighter, but its something needing done.

i will be spending some time with calculators and such, to determine MY BEST GEARSET when i do this. i will focus on the 24.5" tires i have and also make it work for 26" tires that i will probably eventually step up to.

also up is some clutch modding (hydraulic line stuff) and it seems some axle work too.

if i can get the big motor all together, i may just start out with it. its getting expensive blowing motors up, and those two full motors in 5 week span hurt me.

speeding-g60 · Post by **speeding-g60** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 5:33 pm

so, just updating this a little.

i took the first melted head to the shop to see about repair. so that is in the works. that is the ported AWP head, made 592 AWHP with 4 broken wrist pins. so that one will be going back in shortly.

in that, i will toss in the +1mm intake valves i have laying around, as well as all the rest of the good stuff; inconel ex valves, springs, retainers, new guides, etc.

so thats all, just saying to you's guys i am tired of taking time off. so i will be back to it. but not hard like before.

i am going to be doing the PAR dog-box, also....

parts coming are new radiator, working on some clutch flow control, and headbolts/studs. not gonna reuse after two separate head-lift incidents these Raceware studs....

Glad to see you back at it.

Gunna go ARP studs this time?
