Winter arrives.

I went to Epping drag strip yesterday with a friend that lives nearby. It was test and tune day and he had concerns about a water leak in the engine. We may have had to tow the car back home for repairs. As it turned out he found the leak spot and after the engine warmed up and the radiator pressurized the leak was apparent. The engine builder used studs to hold the heads on. The coolant was following the threads out on top of the nut. He put two cans of stop leak in and the leak stopped. There were several very fast cars running and one pro stock from Tasca Ford. We watched as the car launched and started fishtailing down the track. Almost hit the wall but the driver, Carl Tasca, got it straightened out and stopped. They didn't make a full run all day. The track ambulance responded to a man down that we found out today had died. He was near the ATM machine, probably saw his balance. The temp. today is in the 50's and spitting cold rain all day. I had a coat on when I adjusted one of the down spouts. I got the Evo engine on Tuesday. They found a leaky front bearing, a scored cylinder and a faulty needle valve. They put in all new parts and it runs much better. I had the engine apart before sending it back and didn't notice any scoring of the cylinder. I got new parts though.
