Yes, I am hoping damper plate/engine plate/flexplate (whatever you call it) maybe loose/busted. Honestly sounded like the drive shaft banging around, but all felt good, spun by hand in nuetral, and we still had forward movement on that engine in gear, shifted fine in and out of gear. We'll know more tonight.

Frick , my record for annual running time for the past three years is 22 minutes . This year after new alum heads and a complete short block rebuild the year before I figured there were no more parts to break as I had replaced pretty much everything but the blocks cranks and intakes . This year after 22 minutes of outstanding performance broke the push rod guide plate on the number 2 intake valve on the port motor . Like Dan I am the cheif bottle washer . But I am not going to let that tub beat me . I will figure out what went wrong . If all goes well I'm shooting for a whole hour next summer . I don't want to set my sights too high .

Last weekend drive 5.5 hours to Lake Erie, this probably $50 seal decides to pop out in the extension box. Thought I was done and motor needed to come out to get back there but somehow, someway, I layed across the motors till 3pm and got her back in .Ended up at Kellys Island same day.

I always check all the resevoirs before departure, it was empty.
Had to go thru the bolt holes with a nut driver .. everytime I tap one side in the opposite side would pop out.. it was a real fun job.
