Budget '69 Camaro Track Car - NO WHINERS!

[Track Junky]

Yeah, as soon as I get Gordon or Weld money .

Heads in it right now are Dart Pro 1 230/72 cc. I know springs were spec'd for cam because off the shelf seat pressures dont match build specs. I going to have to talk to the NYES guys before I do anything. I know they recently picked up a CNC machine specific for head work so I should probably give them a call first.

Got the heads pulled today. Looks like a few valves kissed pistons and a couple of them aren't seating properly...not majorly but enough. Looks like I will be replacing the oil pan also.

Don't forget to tell them about the eastern timing chain breakage history....we'll be doing a deck height check too.

If that's the extent of the damage

Fingers are crossed for ya buddy.

Nothing a few thousand dollars can't fix.... 'tis racing you know! And the tag line/signature line says that equals poverty!

Gaetano,
So is there any indication of what might have caused this?
Chain failure? Would it still be warrantied

That was the first thing we tried to do.....find out what may have caused the chain to brake. After eliminating the distributor gear and the oil pump I gave the engine builder a call. He told me that around the time I had bought my motor from him there was a spell of timing chain failures. He also told me that the chains being used on the timing chains were Japanese made including the Cloyes timing chains and that he had gone to Cloyes after another PBM chain broke on another motor he had built but ended up going back to the PBM's. I asked, if I were to buy another timing who's should I go with and he still recommended the PBM.
