Re: "Red Alert"
-----Jimbo,,,The answer is yes.
-----JoeG,,,7yrs.
-----Andrew,,, If Im wrong I was mis-informed. I was told that the owner made some passes and holed a piston, necessitating the engine rebuild. The Minnesota owner wouldnt even look at me all the times we were in close proximity so I have to trust that people that I asked specificly to tell him not to race the car without freshening the motor did indeed do that! Maybe he was never given that info. I dont know. Thru channels I offered him a left over set of new valve-springs free. Never heard from him. Maybe he never got that message either. The only thing suspect on the car when I sold it were the valve springs as they had pressure on them for way too long. Changing out the fuel delivery system was a judgement call I personally wouldnt have done, but hey,,,it was his car! The engine and fuel delivery system were very carefully tailered to each other and Im sure you know what a couple of seconds of low fuel pressure will do to an engine with 14 1/2 to 1 compression........Bill S
