Our Internal Battery for
the HID Lighting system broke out of it's bracket and took out our intake
filter. In a matter of an hour a gallon of silt got in the engine at mile
marker 320. The Engine made it to mile marker 765 before melting. :)
We completely broke down the new engine and tried to rebuild the existing, cause
Score stamps your engine, but the race engine had a slightly larger pin
connecting the piston to the crank, so we had to put the new engine back
together and replace the existing race engine. The whole process
took 14 hours, from breakdown to startup. We were 150 miles from the
nearest road, figures. Mag 7 our pit 12 support people let us use there
trailer to do the engine change, thanks guys your awesome!!
