8 bolts? Prob just a HG.

Stage II = 14 bolt heads. The broken starter sounds bad to me. I hope things work out OK Ralph.

I thought stage II had 20 bolts, :tongue: broken started happen from trying to force the engine to turn when its hydrolocked , "(coolant the cylinders)" better a broken started than a bent rod.

When you said broken starter I envisioned a V6 a buddy of mine blew up where it knocked the starter off the block. Check out the rods really closely when you have the engine apart. It's possible that at least one will be bent just because of what you described. Water doesn't compress very well.

Duh, forgot we were talking stg2. My 8bolt champions used to lift and leak near the front cylinders until I had them drilled for 14bolt. Never had them crack though, even with 30+psi.

BTW, what cars do you have now Neal?

Scott,

I Buickless for the time being unless my Roadmaster wagon counts. I have me '04 GTO which I took out to the last Street Legal drags. It runs like a pooch so I'll have to work on that. BTW, I saw your Dad there but was in the staging lanes and didn't get to say Hi.

Mexican under the hood sh it no good !

Well Ralph and I worked on his T this morning.

Blown gasket on #6
"Pulled plugs and cranked the motor by hand #6 had coolant poor out"

#5,#6 Blistered white insulator, Ground Electrode gone on plugs

#3,#4, Blistered white insulator from heat

#1 Blistered white insulator, Ground Electrode half gone

#2 Blistered white insulator

Radiator was empty

Oil had less than 1quart of coolant in it.

I think starter just happen to fail at the track because I was able to turn the motor over with a socket on the crank.

Maybe a fuel delivery issue (dual pumper setup) He was running C16 and methanol. D/L showed only 60% duty cycle.
