The green car lost something to cause one dead cylinder. Rockers are still on, probably a lifter or cam lobe.
The red car lost a freeze plug & was run without water for the entire event.
I was ask if I could do a quick hone & check out on it. It might have some dead springs & guides. When the rings melted the vac pump turned into an oil pump. Sucking oil out & venting it back to the headers. Kevin is installing the 18 deg modified engine tonight. The word I got around 4 o'clock this afternoon was the green car would stay in the shop.
I guess you can say Kevin, & his engine, were Red HOT today!
For a guy to have engine problems he did a very good job on the tree & the finish line. Congrats, Fine job Kevin!
