DesFlurane Member 351 Member For: 18y 10m 6d Gender: Male Posted 15/03/09 01:35 AM Share Posted 15/03/09 01:35 AM Drags today, first run, sh*t burn out, staged, boost to about 5psi, wheelspin, think I hit the limiter, hooked up and went .Could see some smoke from the exhaust, kept into it and went 12.8@117. Got to the end of the run off and car felt sick, some banging from under the car, thought I'd bent the tailshaft or something.Anyway the banging stopped as soon as it started and I drove carefully back to the pits.Still some blue smoke out of the exhaust, popped the bonnet and loud dack, dack, dack from the engine and some steam from under the turbo heat shield.Had the car trailered home.Oil pressure is still good and the oil looks clean.Waiting for it to cool down before looking at the coolant.Possibly a head gasket might explain the steam but the dack, dack is concerning.Dack is a louder, deeper tick, if you know what I mean.Wife is not happy.

Guest Guests Posted 15/03/09 03:48 AM Share Posted 15/03/09 03:48 AM May not be sticking out the side, but good chance that one is bent...Is it a BF I or II? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
