Provost is gone soooo who?s spent the most on gaskets ???

Good one Jack! I try not to remember my teardowns but I know that it's been quite a few times.

Only 3. Last time was a rod and piston.

11 for me, first one in '69 at Gainesville and last one at the '97 all-star race in Columbus.

Too many to remember. Had to pull a piston at Indy one year. This is back when you had to use the GM stuff. One year i got my head to the head checking bench and saw 2 Buick valves sitting there. One of my fellow Buick racers supplied the tech guys with valves to compare mine to. Everything was Ok as usual.

It's not easy to remember them all but I'm guessing just few less than a dozen beginning in 1971 and ending in about 2004. That's not counting helping friends or cursory checks of casting numbers, etc. I'm waiting for Cal Method to come up with a number...

When Jeff Teuton formed his sportsman organization , he was very popular in the tear down barn .. I have to agree with Charles Norton , there is no telling how many tear downs Cal Method had been a part of . I do know of one that he would like to forget …..

Six Times

Not sure maybe 8 to 10 times. Indy a few times and always passed, never been tossed.
