Well, I was at the track rippin some laps today and heard a clunk before coming to a stop. I look down and there is a hole the size of my palm blown out of the cases directly behind the cylinder. Whatever blew out of there (probably the rod), broke the starter off too. Thats what I get for running a high comp 426 with a stock rod. I just replaced the rod bearings at last rebuild so I dont know... Im so irritated I almost dont want to see how bad it is. Ill pull it apart by the end of the week and will get some pics of this up soon.
If you build your motor, no matter if its a 440, 426, 416 or whatever, PUT A HEAVY DUTY ROD and HD Head studs in it or suffer the consequences like me...
This season is starting out just like last season except this is way worse... Gotta get a new bottom end or whatever parts I need SOON so I can hopefully have a chance at a full race season instead of 1/2 a season like I raced last year...
