nope not spraying, NA head/cammed car...
the day before i raced a zo6 and had to run it real hard, and it started ticking, and evedentially it was a bent rod, that happened the next day, early november.

Did you mis-shift or what? Hell that makes me afraid to throw in the cc306.

Wow, thats just bad luck. Some times you just get a car with a weak link some were, then when you push it enough you find out were that weak link was. Just the name of the game, car looks awesome though, hope you get it back up soon.

Oh well, better to have one shoot through the pan than through the dash. I've heard of horror stories like that. Were they hardened push rods?

It would be a much better video if you took out the music when the rod went...
