- High speed lake running for about an 1/2 hour...(150-160km/h) just messing around and I did some moderate straight line running just to let the temps come back down gradually
- Get back home and notice my foot is sprayed with chaincase oil
- Clean it all up and check levels.......levels in chaincase are still high.. (maybe it was too full from dealer service)
- No chaincase oil on the belly pan....just spray upwards all over the stick and relays and brake rotor housing (dipstick was still seated in the chaincase)
- Go for another ride the next day... nothing crazy ....actually too slow and my temps were way up...
- No more chaincase oil sprayed anywhere...
- I go to stand on it HARD (most I have ever stood on it).....engine is hot but nothing outragous.(just touching red)... half way through a hard pull I hear and feel BANG......I get off the gas and limp home quickly 20-30 seconds.... sled is running fine but I wanna get off the lake incase it quits.....
- Pull the plugs and they are light brown and very dry.... almost look like the are made of dry mud.....
- Start it back up to load on the trailer... no knocking or grinding or banging or weird noises...Started and ran fine
SOOOOOOOOOOOO my question is...
Did I detonate a piston? Burn a piston? Scuff a piston? I few quick checks without doing a tear down?
Did I have a driver slip and track ratcheted?
Chain too loose?
Just some ideas on where to start....
Thx boys
