i will get teh pics up later tonight.
talked to randy about his engine, or at least what is left of it
going into the off season we knew the block had a small stitch weld in the lifter galley from an old crack. NBD since it presssure tested fine. since then it was found that the exhaust valve guides were completely gone, the crank had 3 cracks in it, the cam was completely f'ed up, and today's news THREE CRACKED PISTONS!!!!!!
the pistons were actually cracked in the face, not around the wrist pin like it usually happens.
the scary thing is how many guys he passed with this time bomb under the hood.
new manley pistons were ordered today, motor should be back together with all new junk inside in about two weeks.
