[QUOTE=Travis Miller;79783]The others in teardown were GT/JA Michael Volkman, SS/AM Paul Ricci, SS/AM Jeff Tripp, SS/AM Brad Plourd, and SS/BM Jay Higgins. Everyone including the modifieds had to pull a head and all passed.[QUOTE]

Travis...could you explain the reasoning and purpose of pulling a cylinder head in a Modified Class engine?

Page 168 (Section 10F - Modified) of the 2008 NHRA rulebook under ENGINE, 4th sentence reads: "OEM bore center spacing mandatory."

There are even Comp classes where OEM bore center spacing applies. Many other classes have a ruling on bore center spacing dimensions including Pro Stock, Funnycar, and Top Fuel. Those dimensions are measured with the cylinder head removed.

(Disclaimer: Opinions expressed by me on this forum are exactly that, my opinions.)
So...do you guys gave up on pumping the engine for CID measurement? Do not get me wrong, I am not being a critic; I like your new approach. Will there be any enforcement for those using the Aurora block, GM P/N 24502650? (a.k.a. Pro Stock Truck Class block - 8.1" Deck and requires an adapter for its use with a GM pattern bellhousing)

poor travis...

just trying to do his job... and explain to the CUSTOMERS what and why goes on in tech and SHAZAAM his nuts are in the nutcracker again, and his keyboard belongs to his bosses...

travis (and a few others) really try to do thier job, be fair and follow the rulebook... however he is continually overridden by the powers to be...

i wonder if he will even bother to throw out anyone at indy... he is about 2 for 7 last 2-3 years

You guys are quick to jump the gun. Who said or how do you know he was reprimanded by the Administrator of this site? He could had been reprimanded by his management at NHRA.
