Bad day on the dyno...

Sorry to hear this Bryan. You'll fix her and it'll be better than before. A month down and some coin.....I haven't drivin my beast since i saw you in Texas, shess hurt so after i get it back from CustomWorks next week, we dive into the harness and "hopefully" fix it (cause it may be an engine in my future as well)....

Did Steve get his fired yet?

No, I was told they were Manley NexTek (?) beehives. I'm not as 'up' on LS technology, but this engine was built about 7 years ago I think.

Ouch, sorry to hear it! Hope your luck is better than mine!

He has! He's been moving, so he's been really busy, but he got it on the road and is enjoying it, minus a few issues to resolve...

Bryan, sorry to see this about TOW's engine. Bummed for you but I have a feeling TOW will be coming back stronger than ever. Hope to see you get the engine repaired and TOW back on the road soon.

Sucks man.... well, while you're in there..

At least you're right in the middle of LS country down there....

Oh and nice job Steve.

[rickpaw]

Sucks to hear it Bryan. Hope you get it back together soon.

That sucks! I hated to see that picture and read the story. I can't wait to see TOW back running through the cones and tearizing tires!

That sucks Bryan, but better on the dyno than out in the middle of no where. Make some improvements so you'll feel better about having it out. But don't go so far that you can't drive it this summer!

SO the good news is Don Hardy race engines --- an LS specialist is right there near you. That's who built the motor in the '33 --- and where Brizio gets most of his motors.

My guess on the rich condition is a pin hole or leak in the exhaust UPSTREAM from the O2 sensor - causing it to add fuel to overcome what it sees as a lean condition. Or perhaps that valve never sealed well --- and unburnt fuel is oxygen rich again fooling the sensor.

Hey! You've only gone thru ONE motor --- the Mustang has eaten 4 since I've owned it.... LOL

Sucks to hear Bryan.
Hope you get her back to normal soon! Good luck!
