[QUOTE="Lumpydogs, post: 7351378, member: 10306"] Recap. Cobra died at Gingerman Raceway last September. Was trailered back to Lidio at Alternative Auto Performance. Engine failure was unknown. The Autopsy on my cobra engine determined that the oil pump failed and eventually seized up. Oil starvation to the bottom end ground the rod bearings and galled the crank. Also, the keyway in the crank sensor cog(?) was elongated to double its normal width. [ATTACH=full]941794[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]941795[/ATTACH] The good news is that the block is re-assembled and ready to be put back in. [ATTACH=full]941796[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]941797[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]941798[/ATTACH] Before you ask, no I didn't see my oil pressure gauge drop but then again I don't do a very good job of watching my gauges while on track. :nono: [/QUOTE]
