    Busted Ring Lands. When I bought my car it was making too much crankcase pressure and pushing the dipstick out. 2 of the ringlands were broken when we tore it down.

    Marshall... hopefully it isn't too bad. I didn't know about your problems either.

    I used to help a guy with a 1/4 mile oval dirt track 1956 Chevy. We showed up for a race one night right after he painted it green and I thought the other drivers were all going to pack up and leave. They said it was bad luck to have a green CHEVY race car. I did not know it was supposed to be all green race cars. Well I'm not changing it.

    Rear end is trashed. Pinion has only about 70% remaining, the ring gear is destroyed, debris is everywhere inside the housing. So, I'm sure the new differential is junk due to debris. Hopefully the rear end housing and axles are salvageable.

    Sorry to hear that Mike. What caused the rear end to fail? Were the gears new too?
