A quick update on the Muttstang.... some of you may know that the motor "broke" at the Shelby Mini Nats @ Sonoma Raceway.... When I came off track there was a decided "valve lash" issue/noise... So when I went to Dick McGee's race shop there at the track to have him quickly lash the valves - he discovered a missing lash cap.

I left the car there to have them pull the motor and get it over to Tony Odo's shop for a once over/repair.

I just spoke with Tony Jr. and the "issue" turned out to be a broken tip off the valve. They were brand new when Charley had the motor built... and Tony said it was just a defective valve. No other damage done. They're going to re-ring the motor while they're there and they installed new exhaust valve guides and some other minor "freshening" while it's there. It should be done in about 3 weeks.

I was figuring a wiped cam lobe -- or some other 'cause'... but he said all the rest of the motor looked great.

Maybe I'll put a LS motor in it -- this must be a FET Ford issue only....

Big block Chevy's have proved to be the most reliable around here.
