    My One Year Delay Is Now Over!

    Hey Gang,

    The Chevy Cobra Sprung A Not So Good Leak.

    We ended up with water in the oil after our last Go-Kart run.
    At first we thought it was an intake issue since those bolts seemed to have backed out after a total of about 9 gallons of fuel used during the break-in period plus 30-35 miles of test driving.
    The intake was pulled and reseated and a compression test was also done which yielded excellent figures between 200-202 lbs on both cylinder banks. (Extremely Close, Which Was A Surpise Since The Heads Were Not CC'd!)
    We pressure tested the radiator again and water is still making its way into the oil pan so "Ugg" Said Sir Charles Brown, "Ugg!"
    Anyway, I'll be using my borescope to see if I can find anything, specifically head gasket leaks or cracks in the lifter galley, which is easily accessible with the distributor pulled.

    Please Wish Me Luck Because I Think We've Got A Crack In The Lifter Valley!

    Steve

    NOTE
    : Thanks Mr. Charles M. Schulz / We All Miss You!
