Just ran the new self built engine up in the IROC-Z, had her running for half an hour, 50 psi oil pressure at 1000rpm and temp drops as soon as I turn on the twin fans, slightly smokey but that should clear up once the rings have familarised themselves with the self honed bores, sounds good and the clutch I have refurbed is perfect, feels really good and the ultimate test with these things, slips into reverse gear without a mumour. First time I have had two turn key cars ready for the start of the season just gotta decide which one to take out for the opening round at Cadwell and I think the lighter better handling IROC-Z is first choice at the moment... enny meeny miney mo.
