Long story short, the head shop didn't cut the guides for the added lift of the new cam. Cam lifts the valve .512" but there was only .368" clearence. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Side note: Rick M. is moving his shop down the street this weekend, he's looking for "warm bodies" ans stong backs to help. I'll be there helping.

When i reassembled the engine i dressed up the flywheel and pressure plate with a roloc disc and cleaned the clutch good with solvent. I have been running at .8 bar (12lbs.) and the clutch has held great it hasn't slipped once, as much as i would like to see the boost up to 1bar (14lbs.) last time i did that the clutched slipped and smoked a little, the extra 30hp pushes it over the holding limit, so 12lbs. it is until i beef the clutch up some. I have driven the car about 600 miles since it's been back together, the oil seepage from the upper through case bolts is still there but greatly diminished. After driving it around for a few days there isn't that much to wipe up. I may see a hanging drip but thats about all , sometimes i doesn't even make the floor.

The car is still very scary to me, it gets my heart racing like it used to when i downhill ski raced.

I've seen redline in 5th a few times it all happens so fast. Very exhilarating.

I got my G tech figured out now so i plan on doing a few pulls if i can find the highway clear of all traffic and can get it going from an on ramp or some service roads that never see much use. Safety is key here i do not want a ticket and hope to do this as stealthy as i can in a glowing screaming practically Florescent orange car.

Stay tuned more to come later.............

Man I wish I could have made that event! Chappy, Explain how you cured the Valdes oil leak. Did you have to pull the cylinders or just slide them out a little? Did you use sealing rings at the heads?

Rick the leaking is from the through case bolts, Mat Johnson said he used the proper head gaskets, why some of the head stud nuts loosened up and needed retorqueing is still a mystery. After getting the thing all cleaned up, it is obvious now that the leaks are from the upper through case bolts, the oil runs down the side of the case in the same spot on both sides, the oil that leaks from the bolts sits over the head stud so it has a tendency to run down the head stud, pool around the head stud nut, and leak down from there which gave the appearance it was leaking from the head which i now know it's not. In a few weeks if i get caught up with work, i am going to drop the engine again and butter up those nut bolt areas and see if i cant stop it up a bit. The only real cure is pulling it apart but i think i can do a pretty good job on it externally until that time comes.

Look I made some bigger dive planes for the front. I have been playing around with boost settings, i still need to keep it around 12.5 to keep the clutch from slipping in 4th and 5th, but did experience it at 14.5 the other day when i was making adjustments. man that extra 40 or so HP makes a difference, me needs new Kevlar clutch i like the wallop that extra 2lbs makes.

Amber is waiting for a nice easy ride.... I could rip with Darla (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) , the last time i tried with Amber she was trying to climb up on me which made for a scary couple of seconds.
I hope i can break her into it like i did with Darla.

So how is Amber's navigator skill coming along?

I'm almost done with Mark Donahue's "The Unfair Advantage", so now appreciate Chappy's Mark Donahue signature steering wheel. Just when you think you couldn't possibly appreciate this car any more, something new jumps out! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Chap, I have always liked that front end, the bigger dive planes look good. You could put an orange pinstripe to make them stand out a little more, not that you need to make a bigger statement.

Amber, looks very comfortable with the car at a standstill. Surely you have a video of Darla taking a ride that you can train the rookie with. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) ( sorry we don't have a dog driving smilie....yet)

and Dan there is a new book about Donohue that you should get. It is written by Michael Argetsinger. His Dad, Cam, was the architect & driving force of Watkins Glen. Michael's brother, Pete and I worked together quite a bit with Skip Barber
