Anybody run into this? I feel like I am the lucky s.o.b... Instead of putting the car away for the winter Saturday, I decided to run at Englishtown Sunday. Did an oil change Friday, put a touch extra oil in it since I spin it to 7700rpm shifts, 5w/30 max life.
Track was pretty bad, had to turn first gear down 15%, second 10% (stock tires), fourth pass it went 11.22 @ 133.7mph. Fifth pass everything felt fine, no noises, clicked it into neutral through the traps and that's all she wrote. Motor locked up. Of course I drove it instead of towing... Had to get it towed 187mi to the shop, pulled the motor Monday, haven't gotten it all the way torn down but #3 rod is blue and the bearing is in the pan.
Particulars of the car 16 gt, manual, stage2 whipple, 3.75 pulley, boundary opg, t.s.s. crank gear, ati balancer. 10k on motor, 5k on whipple and gears, 24 passes.
What the heck did I do wrong?
