When I bought the car it was cheap. It was cheap because the motor was advertised as tired. It turned out to be even more tired than expected. It lasted a day at Streets of Willow and an evening session at Adams.
That led to a complete rebuild that then blew up after a day at Streets of Willow a trip to Buttonwillow and then back to Streets of Willow to last all of 5 laps.
I had the engine built and the builder stood behind the build even though it was probably the tune and a marginal cooling system that killed it.
So as I pulled the motor out for round three I took a few other precautions.
One of those projects was better cooling.
I bought a new radiator with a larger core.
I bought a big Setrab Oil cooler.
Johns at Tracspec hooked me up with some hood vents.
I built a sealed radiator duct from the grille to the radiator.
Start with the basics.
Some mock up.
A couple weekends with a shear, brake and bead roller.
That solves the problem of getting air in.
