Last week I went to CFR for a Friday night race and got everything set up. I took a few psi out of each gear cause the weather was much better than the last time I ran the car. Anyways went up to make my first pass and did a burn out in third pulled up to the line ran a pro tree cut a. 027 R/T and went 1-2-3-4 it missed a few tines in 3rd and 4th but still went 10.1@146 I was slowing down and looked down and there was no oil pressure so I let off the brakes cause I was on them hard doing like 130mph hit the gas rpms went to about 3500 and still no oil pressure so I shut it off and coasted.

Took the motor out cause it was locked up and I found this and the number 4 main bearing was stuck to the crank!

When did it break Idk but felt kindof fast!!!!!lol

I've used this oil pump crank and main bearinngs for 4 years now so I can't complain too much.

Hope to have it back on the dyno next week to make sure everything is ok to make it to the track to get some 9's!!!!

Shitty, but awesome you are going to have it back so soon. So close to 9's, you'll get it though.

Re: kaboom........
 

Fuck that blows, but sounds like you got some usage out of it. Good luck getting it back together.

Re: kaboom........
 

That oil pump only ate itself a little bit...

Good to hear you'll be right back at it, though.

Re: kaboom........
 

That motor's lasted you forever. If I were you, I'd just build a new one, I forgot your current setup but there's probably something better now.

Maybe some alu rods since she's a trailer queen now? :wink:

Re: kaboom........
 

Same set up as beforejust need a little more seat time!

I have tabs, insurance, and street tires if you want to race on the sreet?:cheer:

That sucks, glad to hear you're getting it back together asap
