^Same...the car looked so perfect when I saw it last, shame it is having issues.

Hopefully you get it fixed up bud, good luck.

Fuck :/

We are in a similar boat. Do the work you do Mark!

[Mark Leasure]

Yep, doing work!

I pulled the engine and the transmission out last weekend while it rained. I pulled the head off and don't visually see any damage to the short block and cylinder head. I measured the pistons TDC and they are the same, so no bent rods! I'm going to have the cylinder pressure tested. I sent out the clutch to Tilton Tuesday, I spoke with an engineer and he confirmed that it will have a 2-3 week turnaround. I need to play the project manager game to make sure Tilton service timing lives up to their expectations they set with me. If this all comes through I will be at the MAP event in June!!!!

^w00t! It'd be cool to see it in action at proving grounds

Sorry to hear about this. Good luck I hope to see you at BIR.

Update: Map built a new cylinder head testing jig. It Help detect a crack in the egr passage on cylinder #4 . The head is on its way to being fixed. This is good news, now I know where the coolant was coming from. I'm very happy that MAP is continues to build capabilities to delight customers like me! The clutch will be here in time to toss in the car with only a 250 dollar rebuild charge. My pressure plate lost its spring force when I over heated the clutch at the track.

A lot of work to be done next week! But I will be at pg2015.1
