Re: The 1BA block Mystery What's the Story ?
Quote:
Yes that's exactly the reason I'm using only the blocks without exhaust seat rings. In 2019 I experienced a valve seat failure on my primary race engine in the pits at Speedweek. Thankfully the failure happened during setting the timing. If the seat failure happened during a run the results would have been really bad causing a complete loss of the entire engine.

Hi Dale Time to get into the late stuff when your back let me know. There's only 11 months left before Speedweek so time is running out. If your back in time are you heading to Hershey? Laura says Hi
