Possible that the rocker was overstressed when the last motor let go and broke just now...we can't be sure, but its definately possible

alot less than your recent breakage

they're just replacing the rocker arms, not the stands or paired shafts.

Lets not speak of the cost of recent (past) breakage... I sure someone had a hefty cost to go 550'? I will give you the benefit of the doubt lets say it went 600...

rockers supposed to ship back to me today...I'm pretty close to Jesel so I should have by monday.

Changed the trans fluid from regular Hygard to Hygard "Light" (aka low viscosity) in an attempt to increase the stall speed of the converter a touch.

Hope to get some more track testing on wednesday....next event is next saturday at MIR...

Do you mix the hygard with any regular trans fluid? The couple people I know that run it use a qt or 2 of regular fluid, so it has some color and easily visable. If the light doesn't do it, maybe try cutting it a little?
