I really hate to tell you that it wasn=92t a successful weekend for me.
=20
At first practice one of the clutches slipped (gearbox or OD), the =
engine
went hot at full throttle and forced out water, the new starter motor
failed.
I replaced the head gasket and while torquing up the head nuts nut #5
jumped one thread over. The threads were gone on that part.
I drove 200mls to get a new head stud, torqued it up and - BANG =96 the =
stud
snapped at the lower thread. It was one of the long head studs.
Now the thread was burried down in the block. End of race =96 I thought =
but
after I told my hotelier about the misfit he invented a head stud =
extractor
while I had breakfast. With that tool it took 10 minutes to get that =
thread
part out.
I recycled my old head stud, used 3 washers to reposition a new nut on a
different part of the threat and was able to torque it up.
Now the car was ready to race, temperature was fine at full throttle, =
the
car went uphill 133mph at 6000 rpm in overdrive! The car was smoking a =
lot
from the scuffed pistons which all 4 are scuffed, not only two as I =
thought.
The balance felt great and I was starting from behind and overtook about =
15
cars in one lap.
Then a Healy driver pointed at my car and shouted that there is =
something
wrong with my car. I stopped racing and had a look at the engine.
A half a liter water was forced out =96 nothing else. Might have been a =
trick
to stop me because I did overtake him several times.
But after the whole field had passed me I retired and went to the pits.
=20
I suppose that the water pump is spinning too fast at 6000 and start
cavitating which cause the water loss.
But the one race lap I did was fun but not what I wanted =96 I wanted =
to be
more in front.
=20
Cheers
Chris
