The 55 has been way down on power ever since I installed the current engine. At Cresson it would not idle but we thought it was running okay at WOT. After Cresson I installed new O2 sensors and assumed we were good to go. At Hallett it got to the point where I could no longer even stay close to anyone. Several times I passed a car going into and through turn one only to get passed back 100-150 feet after track out. On Friday morning during first practice I told Jay the car really felt good and I was not even having to shift into fourth down the front straight. Of course I did not realize the reason was because we were so down on power. I only had 60 to 90 psi compression and that was it. I assumed it was going to be the valves or an issue with the heads (hoping). After getting home from Hallett I pulled the engine and heads and the cylinders looked like shit. I took Pranav's advice and sent my injectors to have them checked after sending pictures of the block with the heads removed to DSS Racing. DSS said it looked like my engine had been fuel washed. I never even heard of that. Turns out one of the injectors was wide open all the time! Others had issues but they got them all cleaned up and working correctly. Well worth the money. Those injectors cost me a $3000.00 short block. At Hallett our eyes would burn so bad we could barely finish a 25-30 minute race. Injector RX (injectorrx.com) in Houston turned them the same day they received them. I hope like hell this is the end of my engine issues for at least four or five years or I will be joining Marshall as a spectator.
