Title: Whoops!
Post by: red snapper on August 22, 2003, 07:10:00 AM

Well, we figured out what was wrong with the motor and it seems that the valve seat came out from the head. So, if anyone knows if it can be salvaged or if anyone needs an oversized door stop let me know. Moral of this story is dont buy used parts for your high performance motor.  ]:( I wonder if air speed is looking to sponsor anyone? :blink:

Hey Brian, Bad news about the heads. What type were they? Call me and we can talk about new heads.

Im not really sure about the heads but its stamped on the inside GME. I bought them at SIR a couple years ago from some snapperhead that said they were good and came off a 11sec car. Live and learn I guess! :(
