must be august....

[sgblazer2]

seems like every august i have a problem with my s10,
first year racing i broke my bellhousing, then the next year i shattered my rearend, and so this year it's the motor...no pics yet, so dont get too excited...

anyway, went to make my frst burnout of the day and when i was through the rpms dropped off and it started running like shit, so ok i 'm having carb problems i think, but then i notice the cloud of white smoke coming out of the driver side header and the track offical shut me down.
turns out to be antifreeze (i dont know how that got in there...lol) was coming out of the header and closer inspection it is coming from number 3 cyl....

pics to come when i get it torn down if it more than a gasket...

[01XtremeLT1]

man hope it is only a gasket. good luck and keep us posted.

Holy shit! That's a piece of the crank right?

[Diabolical]

I dont know.. It looks like a valve to me.

[sgblazer2]

Holy shit! That's a piece of the crank right? i wish it was the crank, then i would have a excuse to build a 434. that is the exhaust valve for the #3 chamber, or whats left of it...found it laying in the exhaust port...more pics to come

they are 2.08/1.60, but if i'm going to replace one i'm going to replace them all with new ones, thanks.

i havent got the motor torn down yet, started to but found the valve when i pulled the header so, i have to pull the motor out now to find out the extent of the damage.

thats what i get for buying used heads:thinking:
