So about 3 hours into our second run after the brake leak (more on that later) we noticed a hesitation or a feeling of a misfire around the 6K mark (7AFE 5spd) as the driving session turned into a 4 and 5 hour run this feeling feel to the 5K mark and into the 4K mark. At the end of the race (call it 15 straight hours of driving) the car was limping around the track in 5th gear chewing up laps - nothing above 3K really without getting the hesitation.... we think its heat related and we think in between driver changes, it gets better briefly - so we think its something that does not retain heat like cast iron.... so.... what do you think it is?

Ah - more information is required:
We had both radiators running all the time - we actually didn't have one plugged in thinking we couldn't get the engine UP to temperature / by the end of the first few runs we had them both plugged in and running also and keep in mind stock gauges: Temp Gauge never went over 1/2 we didn't visually notice any overheating with regards to water in the radiator (only allowed to run H20) and the oil didn't look/smell "burnt" This post has been edited by qatar11: Oct 5, 2009 - 11:04 AM -------------------- -Mike
