found that i put the stage 8 lock nut on backwards and my wheel was close to falling off.  only noticed the bias mud line in the shop ridding dirty on one side of the lugs. 

removed and re assembled tonight.


remembered shocks need machine work and didnt get anything eyed up to much.

i had one of my old school tech guys at work stop over and listen to my motor.  he says bottom end is good, but i have a blown wrist pin and the piston is slapping a valve.  only cause where its in a certain rpm band.  rienforcements are coming tomorrow for a second ear. 

bottom line he said run it for the next RCROCS race, but he wouldnt run it for an 800$ race....

I would say get it in before rc rocs and make sure the bugs are worked out  before $800 race

told you they were gonna say pull the pan :)


what's up at M4 tonight? I have a wedge to drop off, a full set of fuel lines to install, and rear driveshaft ujoints to change out. All of which I can do there or home.... but I have a handy spare tire in the bed to test fit on the rear of your truck.

Probably free after 7:30 or so.
