Squeaking and tapping from engine after track I went to the track and ran 12.1 @ 125 on street tires with a 100 shot on torquer v3 car.
Cooled down, went again, bad launch, aborted that run and went again.
Strong run but my engine stalled at the end on decel. I heard some metal noises inside the engine, and it kept dieing. we noticed it is squeaking and tapping. I feel the tapping in my shifter. Fueling seemed alright on the way home but it struggled with rpms.
I drove it home, 40 miles, it made it.
Did i kill a bearing? Or is it a bad lifter? I checked rockers and springs, they are all good.
Here's a couple vids of it

sounds like a rod bearing to me, when he revved it up a little. Is it less noisy on a cold start up?? At any rate she is going to have to come out and get tore down.
