blew my engine up

[Dennis Reinhart]

JUST KIDDING


Many friends here knew I was racing last month my car has a Novi 2200 on it with a 75 shot, the car made 660 RWHP the second time at the track the car ran a very low 11 but the next pass I thought I broke the motor. I noticed the engine is missing badly on the driver's side I was pretty bummed. I let the car set a week before looking at it, we did a cylinder leak down and compression and it all showed good, yet the engine was down on power and missing bad, what I found that the driver's side Cat had melted and wedged in the drive side pipe, see pictures below long story with a good ending, the cat being plugged was forcing the drivers head valves to float due to the extra back pressure once we removed the cat, the car runs perfect.

6660 RWHP? DAMN! J/K It's the simple cheap fixes that I LOVE! Good news.

[sailsmen]

Did you have the Kooks MagnaFlow Cats?

[Mr. Man]

If your running over 6000 hp and are only doing 11's your doing it wrong:D

[prchrman]

Must have caught it early to not have bent valves.

6660 RWHP!?!?!.....The devil you say!

Satan's own dyno numbers!.....:bows:

You need to get a license plate that reads: "DAMIEN"

[martyo]

Surely traction must be an issue.

[burtreynolds]

Yes Martin, I do plan on being there, and to answer your earlier question the cat went bad at the track, that is why I felt my times were not what they should be. I did run a 11.2 at 128, I consider that good considering one side of the exhaust was closing up.

[Pops]

Pretty good time Dennis!:D

You need a better spell checker! I recommend using Google Chrome which has all this built in. Just trying to help!

We can race in Atlanta if ya ain't skeer'd!

LOL!

[Dennis Reinhart]

Thanks for looking out for me

Your car could run 17's and it will still be one of the coolest rides out there.

Might be tough to do in a real hard rain.;)

[RacerX]

Dennis, you do realize they're ribbing you because you added a zero after your three sixes? Numbers can't be spell checked other than by humans!

What I have come to realize after so many years on this site, is no matter what is said spelled or what ever, there will always be keyboard coaches, I do not type I took auto mechanics instead, and yes I make spelling errors but I believe I get my point accross and try and share as much information as I can. I hope every one has a good weekend.
