So, I just found out my car will now be camping out at the garage until it get a rebuild. Had a light tap noise when cold, turns out it was a spun rod bearing!! Apperantly, my #7 piston has been going up and kissing the spark plug and the valves. Thing is, the car ran normally! All pressures reading where they should be, and running ten pounds of boost.
Anyway, this will be the second motor now that this Cobra has eaten. The previous owner ran it a little low on oil and killed the original, now this one is going. So it got me wondering if anyone else's Cobra has been through several motors, or if mine is just unlucky??
FYI: for the rebuild we're going to upgrade all the internalls, and throw a bigger pan on the bottom. Then it will be seeing more boost!! :dancing6:
