That exhaust looks massive!

**Goat Blower** · 05-24-2015

Dude, sorry to hear, that sucks. Let's hope it's something simple and not hard parts.

turbotalon1g · 05-25-2015

Ugh, do not like.

**Murlo26** · 05-25-2015

^Same...the car looked so perfect when I saw it last, shame it is having issues.

Hopefully you get it fixed up bud, good luck.

Fuck :/

**scheides** · 05-29-2015

We are in a similar boat. Do the work you do Mark!

Mark Leasure · 05-29-2015

Yep, doing work!

I pulled the engine and the transmission out last weekend while it rained. I pulled the head off and don't visually see any damage to the short block and cylinder head. I measured the pistons TDC and they are the same, so no bent rods! I'm going to have the cylinder pressure tested. I sent out the clutch to Tilton Tuesday, I spoke with an engineer and he confirmed that it will have a 2-3 week turnaround. I need to play the project manager game to make sure Tilton service timing lives up to their expectations they set with me. If this all comes through I will be at the MAP event in June!!!!

^w00t! It'd be cool to see it in action at proving grounds

Pushit2.0 · 05-31-2015

Sorry to hear about this. Good luck I hope to see you at BIR.

Update: Map built a new cylinder head testing jig. It Help detect a crack in the egr passage on cylinder #4 . The head is on its way to being fixed. This is good news, now I know where the coolant was coming from. I'm very happy that MAP is continues to build capabilities to delight customers like me! The clutch will be here in time to toss in the car with only a 250 dollar rebuild charge. My pressure plate lost its spring force when I over heated the clutch at the track.

A lot of work to be done next week! But I will be at pg2015.1

Love it, keep the updates coming

curt_gendron · 06-10-2015

Sounds like some good progress! Keep it up.

evotuner · 06-11-2015

Woot!! Cant wait to see it!

Mark Leasure · 06-12-2015

MAP has the head done! I'm on my way back to the US from a business trip in Ireland. Guinness is good stuff! The plan is to get the engine assembled on Monday and drop the engine in Wednesday night. Then hopefully wrap it up and start it Thursday night to load on the trailer. I need to verify the tracking number on the clutch, in case its signature only so I can get it held at ups. That could screw me up.

^ That equals awesome. Its nice to hear map performance still coming through asap for some customers.

Mark Leasure · 06-17-2015

It's alive! Car is ready for the prooving grounds and loaded on the trailer. See everyone this weekend!
