  • more problems with the SS!

    well one of the reasons i didnt attend the M&G...
    driving around the car with the GF, the timing chain snapped (factory replacement when we put in the new cam) the chain broke the timing cover and ripped 3 teeth off the crank gear, well we replaced everything and tried to start... found 3 bent valves, 3 dinged pistons... thank god for forged pistons! so i had to order new valves from manley well my head should be back this morning from the machine shop and hopefully assembling tonight! this car has been a headache with this being the 4th motor, then blowing the presure plate to hell now this! hopefully this is it! and if all goes well ill be getting it dynotuned next week! heres to hopeing for the 500 mark on the 200 shot!
