I was getting ready (testing the car) for my race coming up that night with the supercharged cobra. I floor it down a long straight, get up to about 120 but along the way i see a TON of white smoke coming out my exhaust. When I got home, i HAD NO oil pressure at all. I thought I dropped my oil pan but all my oil was all over my engine comparment. I got soo much blowby from destroying the piston ring that it emptied 4 quarts of oil in like 5mins. I do a compression test and piston #3 is GONE. Cracked it badly with a compression of 55. Its funny though, when it happened i didnt feel any lose of power at all. oh well, i guess i get to start taking the car apart a bit earlier than i planned. i got the rebuild kit in my room so im gonna pull the engine and take it to machinist to get it bored, p&p and im gonna install all the new stuff and have my uncle balance it. oh well... I would have smoked that cobra though. =]
