    I'll give you $100 and come pick it up before you torch it. Bring the hooch and the stories to TWS.

    I'm hoping there is a dyno we can use at MSRC or I will be in the same boat. That is assuming I can get it all back together by race weekend.

    Come on Dr. Frank. You can do it if you want. I work from 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM at my job then from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM on the car every night. Plus we have this weekend.............

    Just added one more Rocky Mountain fellow..... Ryan Rahjes. Ya'll need to keep this in mind when summer rolls around and they are asking you to visit. 90 degree temps are typical at High Plains in August.

    I'm sure we (AI) will vote to wave your dyno cert for this event if it will raise car count. Right now we're looking at a whopping $40 for first...

    Edit: Frank, push your car into the trailer...we will help put it together Friday.

    It would be nice to spend the summer somewhere nice and cool.

    If I can pick up my engine today from the machine shop, I might make it. I'm only thinking it's a 20% chance.
    If they're not done today, there's no way I'd have time.

    You run an LS or LT? What shop are you using? What was wrong with the motor or any info. on it prior to going boom?

    What's wrong....still trying to figure that out. At MSR-H, on lap one, my oil pressure suddenly dropped to zero, and the motor locked up before I could pull off. The engine had a light-rebuild, and only had about 5 hours of dyno time on it.
    After I took apart the engine, rod bearing #4 had spun, and 1-6 were heavily scored. The oil-pump (previously new) had zero signs of wear, and had no contaminates in it. The oil pan was full of bearing shavings, and the pump pickup screen had shavings on it, but none made it into the pump. I didn't find shavings anywhere on the top end. I keep forgetting to cut apart my oil filter to examine it.
    So, I'm not sure if low oil pressure lead to the rod bearing failure, or if the bearings killed the oil pressure. If not the bearings fault, I'm not sure what to blame.

    My crank was warped, and is being replaced with a used unit. The block is currently being line-bored (I hope).

    When the pickup tube was pulled off the oil pump during the "light rebuild", the o-ring that seals the tube to the pump was either left out or was damaged during the reinsertion.
    At some point, you began cavitating the pump without a proper seal.

    I put a new o-ring on it, and I doubt I screwed up such a simple thing.
    I appreciate your thoughts though.
