Re: 91 Galant VR4

That video was from a few weeks ago, I did plan to drive the car to the event. My car fund is low, so I did not plan to dyno.

After the track I knew I had a radiator leek, and my oil level was 1/2 quart higher after my last run of the day. So I fixed the radiator leak only to find I was getting coolant in my oil. After a little run time I had a 1 quart of water in my oil. So I pulled spark plugs and found the #2 plug was wet and standing water in the cylinder.

So I bought a head gasket at MAP thinking it was that, we pulled the head off the car saturday night. Only to find the head gasket and cylinder head looked great. Then I looked in the #2 cylinder to find the problem.

The #2 cylinder wall has a 3-4" long vertical crack in it. So the block is junk. I will pull the motor out and do a full tear down this week. I might be able to have this running mid next season.
