Went to a car show Saturday. To help promote mud racing. All went well until I got home to unload it back in the garage. Heard a noise in the motor. Great, bent push rods, just what I wanted before Long Grove!

Man that sucks, I have a stock car guy that uses really small very hard push rods. They work well and he's no dummy. There some advantages to running small diameters..

Well, I finally got mine running again yesterday. Thank God my wife came out to the garage and helped me till the end. I think she's a keeper lol  ! The engine sounds great and more throttle responsive since I jetted for more fuel ;D. Hopefully no more leaned out pistons this time around! . I hope we can all meet in the middle somewhere and play! Indy maybe? |
