Got the car going again last Sunday, took it to the track last night and BOOM..... Now it doesn't run..... It was fine the first pass, but when I shifted into 2nd it made some really bad noises and tried to shake me out of the car.....

We found this piece of timing cover laying on the track.....



and here's some pic's of the visible damage.....






I am going to pull it in the morning and see how bad it is..... I will update when I find out more.....

 

broke the timing chain, then the chain doubled up and broke the cover

 

Bummer!! was you spraying??

 

I say broken crank. Crank pulley doesn't look perpendicular to the water pump drive, and a timing chain breakage wouldn't shake him out of the car.

 

Not spraying, there isn't even any on the car.....

The crank is definately broken..... I thought initally last night it just broke the snout off in front of the main journal, but after looking at it today it's broke behind the front main somewhere..... Might have broke at the first rod journal, at any rate we will see in the morning.....

 

When that bitch broke last nite it made the weirdest sound I have ever heard from a motor that just shit itself.

Good luck with it.

 

< needs too look closer . shit happens . gl with the rebuild.

 

i havent seen too many blower pulleys with one v belt



that sucks frank, how high do you spin that thing?

 

i though i saw a cog setup . owell !

 

No blower, No Turbo and No nitros..... It's just a n/a flat top 302 with some early 351w heads that I ported, and I only turn it 6500rpm.....
