I made it out to start tuning the new motor. First pass I made a full 1.8th run, but had an issue and didnt get the n20 on until the 60ft. Still ran faster than it ever had, second pass it left wheels up and was about to lay down a pass, but the motor let go(2nd pass on new short block) Wish I would have got the chance to walk around and meet some of yall. Maybe next time.

I saw both runs and when you did the second run I was like” oh ****!!” That wasn’t good.

That sucks that it was only the second pass on the motor and it broke again.

Did you happen to video it? Yea, it sucked pretty bad, pulled the head off last night, it busted the sleeve out of the block, ruined the blcok, piston, the combustion chamber on the cylinder and probably at least that rod. First pass was operator error. Second pass she was about to lay down a pass until that happend.
