really bad rod bearing


#1

(pardon the semi off topic since this is a LeMons E30)

Pulled this bearing out of my 24Hrs of LeMons 325i:

There are a coupla more pics at http://adam.lazur.org/gallery/v/lemons/rod-bearings/

I’m hoping new bearings will get the motor through next weekend’s race in Reno. Anyone wanna place a bet on how many laps the car does before the motor goes clunk again?

That’s the sister team to the E30. We had the cage done by a pro. It was his first time caging a minivan :slight_smile:

That reminds me of my favorite drag racing thing…

Here is my favorite passage…

"Racing at the track is a truly unforgettable experience! To pull up to the track entrance with
a Van Load of kids (6 of us all together!) and ask for a run card to race, talk about stupid looks!
Then to pull into tech inspection with all the Mustangs and Camaros and watch all the kids pile out.
The tech inspector will normally not give it a close look until he notices the helmet in the seat and
the slicks in the back. When I say I run 12 Second 1/4 miles, they do a double take.
“You got a drive shaft loop?” Sorry, its front wheel drive. "
