ha, one run, not that fast, then it stopped and never started again.

After getting it home we found the timing wheel had moved.

How do they do it! I spent 3 hours at wiscombe park a couple of weeks ago diagnosing why the engine died despite the thing appearing tight it still slipped.

I faired no better,

one run for me too,

then cart made a funny noise after tyre warming for second run,

shut down and wouldn't start again,

diagnosed crank sensor as suspect but today in the workshop it fired no problem which allowed me to diagnose a blown manifold gasket burnt through as the source of the noise.

I know, I said it too, but as it felt tight I convinced myself it wasn't that. The loose pulley was caused by a loose bolt and the pulley being split.

Thanks to those of you who managed to make it there, the weather just held out enough for a few runs each day. I saw carl do one run but i guessed there was a problem as it wasn't as fast as usual then saw you pushing it out. Was a shame as the track seemed to be pretty grippy so there was potentially a very fast run possible.
Chris, you car was stunning and I was impressed how fast it was for an N/A a-series!
I also managed a new PB of 13.5 @ 106mph, unfortunately a lot of the 16v guys didn't make it due mostly to car problems and two of the others that were there were having some problems.

Went on Sunday, only managed 2 passes, on the second the car stuck in 4th gear. Sounds like another teardown *oh well*
