JoeDuner Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 My buddy knows that guy. He said the drive came uncoupled and it over revved the motor. Quote
Don29palms Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I know a guy that over boosted a pinto motor and did some serious damage. I believe the rod came thru the side of the block. THEIR weekend with the buggy was short. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 My buddy knows that guy. He said the drive came uncoupled and it over revved the motor. That would be the guy Joe... The storie i got was that like you said the drive came uncoupled earlier in the day over-revved it... the damage was already done but when they went to go line up for the next race is when it let go.. it wasnt pretty... the oil looked weird too... a green milky color.. was funny lookin Quote

I thought that it might be race gas mixed in with oil? I'm pulling the motor this weekend, it's a VW 2180. Hpefully I can get it back in the car before it gets too hot! Quote
EY3BA11 Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 this guy was burnin alcohol so i can see how that would make it look weird when it gets down into the pan and mixxed up.. Quote
