<strong>Steve I had a small crack in the intake port on #2. Since I built the motor I had been getting a little water in the cylinder but could not find where it was coming from. It was driving the O2 sensor crazy on the right bank. Hence I was not getting the performance I expected from the combo. When I was in Ms. warming up the car the crack opened up more and it started steaming out of the right header. I sent the head to Texas to be repaired and should be getting it back today. Maybe it will do a little better on eight cylinders instead of seven and a half.
Brian I'll get it back togeather next weekend if I'm not working.
Steve you and Brian could come help... I would even let you buy the food and beer at the Greentop.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Yeah, O2 sensors don't like antifreeze at all.
Say what? You're buying the beer? Cool, I might have a few more car friends that might want to come. <img src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" border="0" alt="[chug]" />

Re: Steele Feb. 23 I got some VERY favorable response when I distributed flyers yesterday. The word of mouth aspect of this is WAY bigger than I thought. Every place I stopped at was already planning on coming and bringing a ton of cars with them. One shop has a whole slew of turbocharged f-bodies and imports coming with them...
It will be, if nothing else, VERY interesting <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

Re: Steele Feb. 23 Although there is no way to get a car count with a word-of-mouth event like this, everyone in Birmingham I talk to about it says the response is huge... everyone knows about it and and a ton of people are planning on coming.

No, really... tell another one, Stephen! Your car, clean... hooooo boy, that's a good one. Then again, no one would recognize it that way... if you pushed it to staging lanes, you might be able to sneak up on some unsuspecting old guy in a green formula <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Re: Steele Feb. 23 Kristi, my 16-year-old and I are looking forward to it. She just got her license and wants me to teach her to run the car. I'm looking forward to it and having a good day with lots of cars will only make it more fun. (anyone got an extra helmet?) Driving Friday, see you Saturday...pat
