Keith,
We burned #7 & 8 pistons. The heads were already questionable, we had to
epoxy one of them last year at Speedweek to stop a water leak around a
head bolt and they had been surfaced to the max anyway.
We had the heads welded a couple of years ago and they were soft when we
got them back, started bolting them on the motor and some of the head
bolt washers were disappearing so we took them off and set them aside
and used another set I had. Unfortunately, that set got destroyed when
we spun a bearing and put a Carrillo rod through the side. So we had to
resort to the junk heads. They worked well once on the motor, but I
located another set of used Brodix heads so I am retiring them for good.
Hey, we have lots of junk!!
We seem to run better with the junk than with good stuff.
Are you planning to run W.O.S.?
