Getting aHead...Not!



It's never good when you can remove a rocker without any tools.
Tried a new set of 26" tires at the track and I bounced off the rev limiter going threw the lights. This is the end result.

That happened a few weeks ago at Etown test n tune, but with this heat I haven't been able to get under there and inspect the situation. After getting it off the trailer and taking off the valve cover this is what I found. Decision time.... Not sure what I will be doing next.

Wow, sweet carnage! Is that a weld below the rocker? Or just funny lighting?

Looks to be a welded. These heads must have been repaired once already. They were a Craig's List special. That's what ya get for budget build projects I guess.

Anyone have any pros/cons with the Trick Flow GenX 215s? Trying my best to not change the cam again. Looks like my cam will work nice with those heads.

Definitely due to that weld job. Never seen a head break like that before.

Those TFS heads will work great on your motor.

But if it was welded that means it broke before?

Maybe when ported it broke through, and that's how it was repaired?

Either way, that sucks.

Mickeys ET Streets.
26x10.5s
17 psi
Hooked up nicely. However the wheel moved in the tire. Almost a 1/4 inch according to the marks I made.

I haven't found any DRs that don't hook. I've tried 15"and 16" MTs and Hoosiers both hook. Even hooked with 17" MTs

Are these the new bias tires? Or is this a radial?

I picked up a set of the Radial pro (26x8.5) and they hook great.

They are bias ply but I don't think they are the new ones. They are the MT 3752 model according to the Google machine.

That's a good tire, I don't believe their still in production,they changed the tread on the new ones. Sorry I hijacked the hell out of your disaster. That sucks. If you only knew you could have had " JB Weld Heads "in your sig!
