Hey Joe, Glad you are OK.
Most of the possible problems have been covered already. Have you drained the oil and checked for metal. Stick a magnet in the sump and "fish" for metal (Make sure your magnet is secured to your "fishing rod" or else you will leave the magnet in the sump, been there, done that :-) Here are some problems I have seen with race engines which are hard to detect. 1. broken tooth/teeth on cam gears (normally very noisy) 2. broken "key" where cam gears mounts to sharft. (sudden stop) 3. broken camshaft (but it did still keept running, but what a noise and I still got second place :-) 4. broken drive to distributer, this is commonly the roll pin that holds the gear on the shaft, it shears and then catches 180 degrees around. Making it all look normal. (sudden stop) Check you valve timimg on all cylinders and also electrical timing to ensure none of the above have occurred. Hope this helps Sincerest regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm
