Time to leave the boost @24psi! The motor has about 30-35 passes on it and most of them were 9 second runs. My hats off to Jack, Brian and Bobby. I was pushing the envelope with 30 psi. This is the first time I have even had to really touch anything with it since I got it back from Jack. (besides changing the oil and spark plugs) Pretty sure the last time I went to E-town is when the gasket started to go. That 9.44 @143 was the begining of the end. Heck, it still ran a 9.66 @ 30 psi and a 9.86 @ 24 psi before she went totally on Saturday! Before.... A couple hours later Monday night..... I found the problem!!

Mike...Yep, without a doubt, you found it!... Now the question is: will you be able to have it fixed in time for the Cecil County event" ? Also was there damage other than the head gasket (hopefully no!) ?
Claude.

We can't wait for Cecil. I got the transfer switch ordered for the motorhome generator so we won't have to use that insanely noisy one! It did keep everyone else away though.... Were you guys going to be able to make it to Cecil?

I dunno Mike...I'd definitely like to go, but it's quite a ride from 16 miles west of Montreal all the way to Maryland, just to watch and not participating! ...besides, I'm expecting Jack to call me before the end of this month (hopefully!) to pick up my GN so I can drive it a little to "break it in" before storing it for the winter...
Good luck at Cecil County!... Claude. P.S: What DATE is it going to be?...

Started cleaning the surfaces of the block tonight, everything looked good. I went to go and start cleaning the heads up and Eddie noticed a cracks in the d/s head where the header bolts up. Well, I got about 5 weeks until Cecil. All I can say is HELP!!!!

Not to many have gone as fast as you with out finding a weak link. 4 head bolts per cylinder does suck doesn't it.
Best of luck to you guys getting it fixed up in time for your next event.
