Here is the damage. After a leak down test confirming the number one was at fault, I got to put eyes on the issue.
What the catch can was showing....
Luckily the block wasn't damaged... I was expecting some unrepairable carnage to those cylinder walls, but I couldn't find a single mark.
So off to the machine shop it goes. The goal this time for the car is to improve some of the off-boost response and clean things up a bit. So here are the improvements. It's a decent list but a convenient time to get at it.
Engine:
CP 9:1 87mm pistons
Eagle rods
ARP head studs
ARP main studs
ACL race bearings
Cosworth 1.2mm MLS
Balanced rotating assembly
Polished crank
