I went to the track yesterday and had some problems. The first two runs, I ran into a problem with the throttle sticking wide open two runs in a row. Both of which, the motor went to 7700 RPM. I got two somewhat clean passes. One pass, I babied it off of the line and just went through the gears smoothly and it trapped 125mph. The next run, I turned the boost up from 19 to 25 and it did not gain any MPH at all. The next run, it started breaking up and misfiring during the burnout, so I pulled off. I checked the plugs and wires, then made another attempt; misfired again.
On my way home it started to get a little warmer than it usually does. Once I got home, there was coolant laying in the battery box and no pressure in the coolant system. The oil has some murkiness in it. I'm thinking that the heads are lifting. I started to notice coolant on the hood and hood latch area after the throttle stuck open. AFR was 10.80-11.00 the whole run. Timing was at 22* for all runs, too.
I was thinking about o-ringing the heads. I've never dealt with o-ringing, for me personally. I would like to just o-ring the heads, since I don't wanna pull the motor out.
