I don't think I ever heard you say what was wrong with the motor.

I thought I said something about it in another thread. I was testing out my suspension at holiday beach the other day and after a pass it started knocking and it went down to 10 pounds of oil presssure. Hopefully I will figure it out tomorrow. I plan on inspecting it alittle bit more and maybe care it to a guy I know who builds motors for Bennett racing. I would rather figure it out my self if possible. Thanks Steven

was your windage tray in the oil pan messed up. because if that was loose it could have sucked up to the oil pickup or if you oil pump was loose or if the pump driveshaft was stripped it could all do that too. like twisiting than popping when it slips.

I dont have a Windage tray but I have a main cap girdle and it looked good plus it was tight. The oil shaft was ok also.
