I here alot of you talking about high end engines. I like them too, But I also have seen people have good luck with sport engines. There are some out there for just over 100 bucks that I bet will get the job done. Just my 2 cents. Best wishes to all

I bought a RB WS7-II. (We only live once after all... :dude: :roll:)
Hopefully I will have good luck with it...

Should have it by the end of the week. Perfect timing to break it in on time for sunday.

Is the race schedule for sunday the same as other weekends ?

Their going to be doing a catheterization.Angioplasty?
What can I say John, Atleast its not open heart surgery replacing valves and a complete plumb job which is a good thing. If its OK with you I'll take that as good news. Keep your chin up Eileen you'll do just fine.

Noland, I guess there should be some of my stuff in that box.
Call me tonight, so we can finalize what time I will come to the track on sat.

Thanks for picking up the stuff Chad. Hopefully I can stick to the plan of breaking the motor in on Saturday and be able to race on sunday.
Did you by chance find any 1st stage Foam for my air filter. Let me know if it is in the package, so I know if I have to look for it somewhere else...

and GOOD LUCK FOR THIS WEEK END...:dude: :thumbsup: :devil:

Nolan,

The rumor is true and Jeff and Troy are on the job as I am told with this issue. 3 Fantom engines fell victim to the woor straitaway. More than likely over-revving the engines is the cause of failure ...but they are looking at all parts and materials to be extra sure. Just be sure to gear up to 14 tooth and go from there.

Must have been a nice day to practice tonight?

Wish I could have been part of it.
But I'll be there saturday around 1:30ish to break in my engine... :thumbsup:

Jesse, are you racing saturday at rider's or are you tempted to try out your new ride before the race on sunday???

See you then,

Have you heard of anyone having overheating problems. Mine runs really good at the start then after two to three laps it shoots up to 300+ and I have checked everything and it looks good :confused:

dan-o
05-28-2004, 11:57 AM
nolan....no real big heat issues that I am aware of. 300 is way bad though. the thing must be a rocket running that lean???? if it is not a rocket meybe a drivetrain issue??? ie bound up or bad bearing somewhere......

Ya your right by that it is a rocket running that lean it screems down the straight. I took the motor apart last night and everything looks good I like the power it produces but when she gets hot it dosn't like it very much.

Hey nolan, my vzb's heat problem was due to my torsen diff. taking a huge dump. It moved the car fine but it locked and slips at its own free will. I put the standard diff back in and everything is o-tay once again.

Hey Cliff I still have all the stock diffs in it. the only thing I did was change the center w/ 10,000 wght oil, but I had this problem before I did that. Question for ya do you have any fuel tanks at the shop? Mine leaks pretty bad from the lid.
