Tweaking the tune on the dyno the other day and the motor locked down.

Pulled a valve cover to take a peak and....

The carnage includes a broken cam sprocket, secondary timing chain, tensioner, a few valves, and a couple of pistons.

One of the Johns may have a chance at SSHS10 after all unless the postman hurries along with some parts!

What did it lay down on the rollers before the 'weak link' broke?

We didn't spin it all the way up and we were dynoing on slicks (which robs hp on the dyno) but think 7's.....

Sorry to hear. Put a Stock Termi engine in there real quick and you will still beat the pants off the competition.

It's usually never good when the pistons are moving and the valves are not. Hopefully it didn't break anything that can't be easily repaired or replaced.

You're sponsoring the BD race, so you have to be there to award the trophy. Although I'm not picky about who I receive it from. ;)

Thanks.

The heads appear to be okay, except for a few of the valves.

Replaced three pistons. Heads are ready to be reassembled as soon as the fedex Guy arrives with some super secret speed parts this morning.

Then I will just be waiting on ProCharger to get me my blower back early next week.

With any luck we'll be testing Halloween weekend!
