This is why you use thicker aluminum for base of intake and plenum wall.

This is why I do not run Autolite plugs anymore, 3 passes at the track and this happens. I think my manifold might favor #4 getting a bit more air.

Ignore the red harness as that was just a test, Once the car is caged it will have a semi proper 5 point cam lock harness

Give me the $700+ for pistons and bearings I need to rebuild my spare engine, as I have rods, just need bearings and pistons and then assemble time.

MS will be there soon enough, Once I pass emissions in May I will have two years to tear things down and redo, for now thanks to the wonderful US Gov I am some $10,000 poor'er this year so until I can find extra funds it shall wait.
 
Do not tempt me as I already have one here I could do that but I fear the n/a pistons for some reason. Kenny has my thinking to not trust ring lands.
 
Well I give it credit as my last compression test 2 days ago showed 60psi in #3 and 60psi in #4, #2 showed 130psi which blew me away as it has gained pressure (this is also on a semi warm motor). So beat or not but numbers are better than it used to be with the same gauge. I did not bother checking #1 as I was mainly looking for where I blew my HG.

and hey my first 5 stars, woot
