Had a bad track outing the last test and tune and just now getting to see how bad I hurt the Monte. Got up early this morning and went to the shop and took it apart to find this. I expected the head gasket went after a couple significant nitrous backfires lead to a misfire. I was hoping that was the only damage but it doesn't look like I am that lucky.

Ouch. Torched it. Bummer man. Part of the game though.
Ohhhh man.... whats the plan now?
I got your back brad. Got some parts coming and we can get you put back together with something to get you back on the track. I fried a ring or 2 last week myself...
Monte curse.
G body curse. Anthonys GN is down now too
Sucks but she will be back better than ever. We have a rematch to run soon. I think I have figured out my breaking up issues.
....opti, it's always the opti
yikes! i had one yesterday, thought i heard parts scatter under the car then it seemed sluggish, then i slowed down and did a pull on motor and it pulled fine so i guess it's still happy lol.
Figures something like this would happen so close to the Shootout, I don't think we would know how to act if we didn't have to scramble to get stuff together last minute.
Hey at least this year it's 2 months away instead of 20 days!
I have been planning on a heads and cam swap, just didn't want to be under the gun to get it together and tuned and tested all in the next few weeks. I will figure it out one way or another, that car has raced every Shootout so far so don't expect to see another "Not going to make it this year" thread from me. ;)

Damm
My machine shop was able to repair the damaged head and then go through both of them, cleaned up the chambers and a valve job. Get to the shop early tomorrow and get this thing back together, after all I have a crown to defend
:cool:

Nice that they were able to repair it.
