[DeTomaso] BBORR report

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

To know how the dawg feels you'd have to have had 4 DNF's out of 40 ORR's and went allot faster ;-]>

Nothing is as humbling as sitting on the side of the road as everyone else drives past you.....great ring side seat for a open road race.

A hole in a piston and oil blown through the rear main seal..........

That's the conclusion I'm leaning toward also.  I'll get it up on stands tonight and get a better look at it.  I'll look for oil blown out the front.  I checked the balancer last week and all seemed OK.  Distributor was double pinned as well.  I'm thinking a bad 

batch of lower octane fuel, bad timing (engine and personal) and a tired engine all came together at the same time.  I didn't

build this one and I thought it might have one more run in it.  As it turned out it had about a quarter of a run left in it.  Just

hoping the Boss block and heads are not destroyed. Thanks.

Michael...1st DNF, now I know how the Dawg feels. ;-]
