I made my 1 piece driveshaft a two piece driveshaft. It appears that the M&H's worked better than I anticipated.

After seeing and hearing about all the things that can break at the track, I have made it a habit to always make sure I have enough cash on hand to pay for a tow truck to get the car home from the track if necessary.

This happened on the first pass. I was racing in a .500 pro tree class. I had the engine at 4500 RPM's on the two step, dropped the clutch and BANG. The car never moved out of the staging beams.

I sent the driveshaft builder pics. Ya gotta love AAA.

Ok long read but you get why Im upset.

Noticed a small fuel leak on my return line by the fire wall. Fuel line had a small pinhole. So I go to Lethals website just to make sure I bought the correct lines. On the website the kit says a -8 return line so I bought 20ft
of black xrp line, and 2 new hose end fittings a 90* and straight hose end -8.
I put the car on jack stands and got the damaged line off when I noticed the damn thing was a -6 return. I was shocked . I dont know why it was a -6, I must have never noticed it when I 1st got the kit . Then again I had probably the 1st kit from lethal so not sure if the kit was updated later .
Anyway that wasn't the big f*&^ up .
After getting everything finished up turned the key and the new hose was defected and had a pinhole in it leaking around the firewall again. I could see a small mist of fuel spraying.
WTF I was so pissed. Tomorrow Im going to have to cut and replace the section to the reg .

This is the one that was vibrating?


I pulled my front cover again. This is the third time since building this motor. I've had a small oil leak since day one. The block was used and the bonehead I bought it from cleaned the sealing surfaces with a power tool. This time I sealed all of the block mating surfaces with ultra grey. Verified squeeze out and did a retorque after 15 minutes. If this doesn't take care of it I'll probably start over with a big bore block.
