Some may know and some may not but on the third pass at SB last August the 1MTNCAT went down.
I finally pulled the engine out of it a couple weeks ago to check the devastation. Siska and I had done a bore scope check on it late in the fall and knew it was badly damaged.
Here are some pics of the last pass at Mason Dixon and the subsequent damage from the autopsy. Cylinders 1 & 2and the pistons destroyed. Also the chamber side of the head on #2. Major metal in the pan from piston coming apart and pieces of rings.
Needless to say the stocker did its best and owes me nothing. I honestly did shed tears when I put it in the scrap yard last week. When I get the funds I need to get a built motor in the car.
11.75 on the spray and 12.94 on the motor were the best it gave me. A lean condition at the MIR race last spring when the fuel pump shutoff on me twice was the end to an otherwise long life for that engine. I finished it off at SB.
May it rest in peace!!!!
