AHAHAHAH! That is THE BEST EVER 24 hour motor!!! And by that, I mean it took less than 24 hours to build it. I caught a glimse as I went down the track that it ran at 6500 RPM, was fantastic! Dad and Charlie did a great job! Videos to post tomorrow on youtube, and a few photos for here but a couple on my Facebook already.

thats the one that got toasted at SB, the new one is in and working well from what I read that old motor looks like the trust baring must of taken a poop witch cause the crank to rub on the block, Id say the crank is done but the block might be ok, maybe a full rebuild, and get the mains aligned honed.

Yeah, Charlie pulled the pan off after SB, but it was like a week and a half before my Newport race. We thought the oil pressure line was stuck on the bottom of the pan because there was no oil pressure reading since my race in Willamina at the end of June, but even before that I never had good oil pressure. But when he was in there, he found the spun bearings, then just pulled the motor and quickly (in less than 24 hours with the help of my dad) built another motor for me to race with. He finally tore down that motor that went in back in April that had the spun bearings, and the above photos are from the motor. I don't know if it I screwed it up (which I will gladly take credit) or if it was in process when I got it and I just finished it off or what the situation was. But for now, the motor Charlie and Dad built will easily hit 6500 RPM going down the track so I am going to leave that one in there for awhile. We put it together out of spare parts in the garage, lol, it only cost me $65 - that's the price of a gasket kit. Now we turn attention to my daily truck. It has looked like crap lately with blue doors on it. For my birthday my grandparents paid for the doors and tailgate to get painted. I got a hell of a deal and couldn't pass it up. Next will be the fenders, hood, and vent thingy below the windshield above the hood. Then the cab because that has some rust and will take a lil more money. I am starting to look for a new bed because it will cost more to fix the tree hugger status than it will to buy a whole new bed. Here is the truck after we got home with it today:
