Batteries = Defined life span...
I wish I would have read this B4 this past weekend at WGI. My Ballistic battery failed, 8 laps into the race. It had 2 minimal draw downs that I know of.
been hands-off for a while and now i remember why
following this thread..................suprised at all that work for a street-bike engine ..........but it is a highly stressed machine and the application is unique
Probably half he stuff on here
would apply to ANY racecar, regardless of engine: safety wiring drains and fills, ensuring tightness, priming oil systems. I really don't see it as a "these cars" type deal, rather a "racecar" deal...
Many of the folks commenting on here are running races quite often; my log book is almost filled up on the RFR, so the odds would point to the fact that JR, myself and some of the others who run quite a bit will see stuff that others might not.
Dan, I hear ya on the "jumping around" thing, as I am super "guilty" of this, but sometimes you have to do that, especially working solo.
Use of Inspection Lacquer
This product should never replace a thorough "Nut & Bolt" of your Engine Installation (and other critical chassis fasteners for that matter). However, I'm a big fan of Torque-Seal Inspection Lacquer.
Available via Pegasus.

Re: Engine install checklist
A written checklist is most helpful, especially for the easily distracted like me. The key is to remember to check the checklist ;)
