Ouch! is that the block cracked or a piece of the head gasket? My brother Alan popped his block in Reynolds too. Hate to hear it man.

The name would be called the "I was so close to a 10 second pass club". I was 11.03 at 124. Man if I just hadnt eaten that cheeseburger before that pass!

Awww heck... that's a couple hours of work now...

Stinks you were so close to getting there and it had to happen on that pass!

Good luck with your re-assebly. Make sure you pop that head off real quick. Don't let coolan sit in that cyl. and mark it all up! That's the only bad thing about our setups.. if you nuke a gasket you gota take it apart quickly and get all the coolant out of there or it'll rust up almost over night.

Alans Iroc is still in a coma. We are building a few 109's for our other friends cars right now. Jason's car is still kickin! havent run it again since. Put a HRParts bar on and a line lock. maybe that will get us a 10.90!

You are lucky

You know how lucky you are not to be looking for a block.for I think it was 1-100 th.Jeez I back out on my first GN because thanks to a knock gauge I was running lean. Had the car 5 years,till stolen.Now a family member who I trusted to title my Limited.Is holding me for money or no re-lease of title.
Too bad we don't have high noon shoot outs.
