I just wanted to say that Larry's oval was scary fast on the track ... even though it was set up for drag racing. Once we did the hard laps and pulled into the pits, we started to check the engine over. I grabbed the dipstick and then the manifolds to see how hot they were, but they were just barely warm.
We took the covers off of the heads and when I grabbed the rockers, they were just warm, not hot, as I would have expected them to be. I guess the Nickies had something to do with that temp.
Good luck with the engine Larry and let us know what the problem was.
I should have that video up by this weekend.
