Yeah, my wife is already talking about bringing it out to Gingerman.

Is there a drag strip at or near Gingerman raceway or are you taking a drag car to a road course? Either way :getin:

I took the radiator off to see if there's any way to repair it before I drop the money on a new one. What the gently caress is this poo poo?



WTF? Flush every possible coolant passage as much as you possibly can. It doesn't look like metal (is it?) but maybe build up of some kind, maybe someone mixed coolant types or put some garbage stop leak stuff in there.

i would probably not want to deal with all that and would probably just crank it with the plugs out until i got oil pressure, but my engines probably have at least one fewer zero than yours on the pricetag.

It's alive!
