Hey do I see your car at the donut shop once and a wile? (magnolia & adams) 

I have these valves coming from each valve cover to each header and I had the left one blow out of the valve cover where the tube was held in with a grommet. This happened at the 1/4 mile finish line which soaked my left brake with oil and made for a hairy situation. Car pulled hard right when I jumped on the brakes, I was in the left lane and used both lanes back and forth and I got stopped short of the end of the track. I'm not sure what actually caused this but I'm replacing both valves thinking maybe the left one might have malfunctioned and plugged some how and the pressure blew it out. The valve seems fine but??? So I'm also thinking to make it so the end at the valve cover can't come out (the grommets are 3 years old). These valves have been in use for 10 years and I never had any issues. They will see more often maintenance now. Just some food for thought.

Check out the Moroso 25900 crankcase evacuation system at Summit for ~$91.00.  You will see the pitot tube has a whistle hole cut into the tube, and when I was installing those on my headers, I tested the angle, position, turned the hole in different directions on my SF-600 flow bench.  I found the best/highest vacuum number was actually what they suggested in their instruction sheet.  If you can get a print out of the installation sheet, follow it and you will get the best benefit from the system.  I don't have the instruction sheet available, or I would print a copy here.  Joe-JDC

Hi, back working on the dragster, getting ready to run in the engine, making coolant hoses, these are pushlock, however when I assembled them I could still pull out the fitting (I used Earls lube) so I also band clamped them.

Yes I running the coolant backwards (cool heads, hot cylinder walls)

Very interesting and great work as always, thanks for the update.  What moves the coolant?  What is the control board and module for?  There is a belt from the crankshaft driving something down there but can't see what it is.
