Default Well I'm Pullin It !!!!

Yesterday I ran an 11.86 and it was running great..I get it home and I got oil underneath and coolant in the catch pan(on the lift)...I can't see anywhere it's coming from..Nothing in the oil..Nothing from the top side...Time to pull it and check it out..Gotta have a blown gasket somewhere...Damn

I feel your pain. Atleast you don't have coolant in the oil and got to run it at the track. I didn't even get my motor broken in before it blew up. Hopefully its an easy fix.

wow impressive time.. what was your mph? What are you running as far as drivetrain? Have you done a compression check/cooling system pressure test or anything? You may get luck and be able to fix it without pulling it out..
