Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
Well at least it stopped there and didn't chew up the piston/cylinder wall! That is crazy dude, definitely one for the books!
Get this thing fixed asap!

I think the lifter collapsed and allowed the rocker to eject during a pull I made right before the misfiring started. There is a slight scratch on the cam lobe, but no other real damage I am planning on replacing the lifter and and putting the rocker back in, and hoping for the best.

So the car didn't self destruct?

No I'll take the blame on this one, even though I have no idea how the clamp got in there. It just seams like a DSM to be running perfect one minute the drop a cylinder the next. The car ran for over 600 miles with the clamp in the motor So I guess these DSMs are pretty badass.

Indeed. Frankly I think they are some of the best engineered cars from that era when you think of what we are asking out of the original design parameters.

Yeah I think that's been there for awhile. It doesn't go all the way through. The coating just makes it stand out. Mabey some day I'll step up to a FP manifold..

HAWT! Nice work man! So you didn't have to machine the head or anything, just slap new valves in? If so that's nutzo!

The seats had no visable damage. I think the seats held up because they are harder then the clamp was. I lapped in the new valves and they lapped in really nice. I rechecked the seats after lapping the valves and they were lapped in evenly so I figured I'd run it.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
The day started out kinda ruff but got better at the end. After waiting fot the rain to clear out and getting no practice/ qualifying passes. I got disqualified the first round of eliminations. Because the car wouldn't make boost at the line so I took to long to stage. I Waited around and watched the rest of eliminations hoping they would have open testing after. They did so I made 3 passes first was 11.64@ 116mph I followed that up with 2 11.7s @ 117mph. All in all I consider it a good day since I drove the car there and back and raced with no issues. It was good seeing other members up there I will try to do better at PG13.2.
On a side note. Bald guys need the. Apply a 2nd coat of sun screen if they are going to drive home with the sunroof open. My head hurts.
