I am looking for suggestions on what to do with my motor. At Hallett when I went off w/ no brakes my right foot rolled onto the gas pedal and red-lined the motor for the duration of my journey (maybe 5 seconds). Ever since then when I start the car up in the morning there is quite a bit of valve-train noise for about 3 seconds, some of ya'll may have noticed this at the last few events. After that everything seems to run alright and function properly.
I run Amsoil 20w50 racing oil and the oil pressure stays b/w 35-50 during a race.
When I built the motor before the 2006 season I put in new lifters and valve springs. Might either of these need to be changed???
With the extra time before the Houston event I feel this is the time to make repairs if necessary. Any suggestions and input is always greatly appreciated.
P.S. I am going to put on a larger p/s pulley and also wanted to change to the larger reservoir to keep the unit cooler. I saw that Corey has one that looks like a thick hose extension. How do I make this change?
Thanks everyone!!!
