Default Found my problem...

I posted earlier that I was getting water in #2 cylinder. The intake port had a crack about 3/4 inch long. When I first built the engine I thought I was getting a little bit of water when I would pull the #2 plug and check it. When I on the dyno the air/fuel readings would be kinda crazy. The water in the cylinder was driving the O2 sensor on the right bank crazy. While at Eunice a few weeks back the crack got larger and fouled the plug.

Anyway the head is being repaired and I can't wait to run the car on all eight cylinders.

Come to think of it 11.30's on 7 cylinders NA ain't bad. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

"Anyway the head is being repaired and I can't wait to run the car on all eight cylinders."

Do you mean that you are going to get the head welded? Can we do this?

I'm glad to hear that it's not the deck on the block. I'm really anxious to see what kind of numbers you put down with all 8 cylinders firing properly. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

I will. It's called the lightweight driver mod! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
