Thanks for asking, still breathing. Something went catastrophically wrong with my motor at Summit. Number two connecting rod was  torn in two and went right through the oil pan. I pulled the motor just this past weekend and the carnage is incredible.

Still not certain what caused the problem. I'll tear that block down for parts and hopefully learn the answer. Should have the motor from my MAW wreck installed by Watkins Glen. Since that one was out and on a stand, I decided to check rod bearings and fix a leaking rear main seal. Will also be swapping the light weight flywheel over to that motor as well. Trying to avoid too much of the WYIT syndrome and just get back on the track.

Someone asked me why I went and bought another 951 after my wreck and my response was "It's the devil I know." Boy, I know it well now! By the time I'm done, I should qualify for an ASE certification. Any more trouble and I'm doing an LSx swap. Already bought the manual.
