Aidan's loose oily bunghole actually runs a track lap

That's why I quit screwing around with track cars as much as I love being out there. The constant BS, work, and money it takes to keep them going.

Every year I get to at least one "part it and get out of Miatas" moment. Then, I take a break, come back fresh, fix it, and then proceed to find the next "part it" moment. I am really looking forward to stopping this cycle, but when it runs without problems it's glorious...

He'll get it fixed. As much cool stuff he's built and gotten working, this will get fixed too. I'm curious as well what happened, my guess is detonation broke ring landings. But I'm hopeful it's somehow something less and easier to fix.

Yeah I'll get back to it. It's just been getting in the way of some other projects I want to do. I'll get back to it this winter or next spring.
I would hate for it to be detonation. Because I'm running incredibly retarded timing, and havent seen any signs of knock on the logs, so that would just mean I had more issues. I would love to like find an upside down oil ring, or some assembly error that I can learn from and fix. I don't want to go down another rabbit hole of what caused this issue.
For now I'm lucky to have some great friends. People gave me rides everywhere all weekend. Afm let me drive his car on track all day Saturday, and I'm currently bombing through Sacramento in a friend's car while he tows mine home.
Only at M@MRLS can you blow a motor on Friday and still have a great weekend.
Also I learned I do not fit in NDs at all. Have a kink in my neck from instructing in an RF.
