as far as we could tell everything should be alright. it has so much crank case pressure it blew the oil fill cap off and covered the motor, and the cap for the stock timing pin in the pump fell out goin down the track. we dont know if the guy who flowed the pump for him didnt tighten it or what. the way he had the air shut off was a temporary solution, that we handt had time to change, but will be changed by the weekend for sure now. the turbo still spun freely by hand.

like ed said everything appears to be fine we just need to clean the engine off that's where all the white steam/smoke came from at the end of the video...we drilled a couple of the valve covers and put vents in them the other night and we took the oil fill cap loose talkin about venting it...guess we didnt tighten it back down so it blew off...the pump timing pin cap like ed said guess the pump shop didnt tighten it enough...but other then cleaning the engine we just gotta fix the cable and it will be ready for next weekend

it was on a pretty good pass...the new delivery valves were working good...came off the clutch at 4800+ then it pulled back down to around 4000 but was buildin rpm when the shutoff closed

we vented #2 and #6 the other night and i've also got the scheid billit tappet cover with 2 blowdown tubes that are 3/4"....i plan on venting the rest of the covers also and seeing if that helps...found out this week that i shoulda used different rings, i used cummins rings and i shoulda used total seals

oh yeah GPS said 21.6 mph ground speed...didnt get a recall off the intellidash i was too worried about the engine
