View Full Version : My Bad Night..

I've been out all night racing and so on.. I was rolling at 50 droped the hammer and sprayed n20 (dry, 100 shot) till the end of second gear. I have a rpm switch so it comes on at 3k and stops at 5.8k and i must be at wot. Well i pulled by this car like a bat outta hell then i hear a belt slipping noise really loud and think the other guys car is mest up so i look in my mirror and i see alot of white smoke, it was my car..
So I pull into some big parking lot and pop the hood... all i see is oil on everything (not a hole lot but splatters everywere)... Then i see that the hose that goes to the water pump (big one right by the tb) is almost off the water pump http://forums.corvetteforum.com/images/smilies/eek6.gif .. It looks like it moved a good 2 inches outta its grove and oil was all over the hose..
I used some plyers to fix to the hose and put it back were it goes.. and check the oil (see if im low) and it was good. then poped the anti-frezze overflow to see if oil was in it (praying i did not blow a gasket) and it was all anti-frezze...
Now I checked and the car is not leaking anything. But it seems like my exhuast is smoking more then it used to, but it was 40 outside so i dunno. I was about 20 miles from home and the oil pressure was good so i drove home. Now the car is sitting and i dont know if something is broke or not..
Then when I walk in the door my mom tells me my dad is in the hospital cause he fainted while out at the bar with my mom and friends.. and also my buddy that was with me when the car was messing up got robbed at gunpoint in mt. clemens today.. Today is not a good day.
So does anyone know why the car would of make that hose almost fall off?? and why it would leak oil from it?? I need some advise..
sorry if grammer/spelling sucks im not in a good mood and its 3:35am

Sorry to hear about your luck.. I seen you on Gratiot, i was in my buddies Fox Mustang (black on Weld wheels) and heard you rip by a few times going the other way..
Your problem sounds like the hose blew off due to a lot of pressure in the cooling system. Might be because the car was cold and the thermostat wasn't open yet?? The smoke and noise was probably just coolant burning off the manifolds and the belt slipping from being wet.

You were racing a black Camaro IIRC... and being an idiot. Don't race on Gratiot man, you'll lose your license in no time out there.

I was out with a few friends... 91 Mustang vs. 91 S10. Mustang has a mild 302 with heads/cam, 5 speed, and the s10 has a small block with about the same mods as the Mustang. The Mustang won by about 12 cars :lol:
I'm gonna PM you...

Yeah don't race on Gratiot-you're just asking for trouble. If you're gonna race at least race in a place that's not crawling w/ cops. Hell if you're goona take a chance getting busted at least race for some $$$ and don't race from a roll.

If I blew a gasket how whould I know? I checked the coolent and did not see any oil. I think I may have an oil leak somewere near the front of the motor.. or it could just be the oil that i never cleaned up.. The car runs and drives fine, not overheating or throwing any codes... What should I do??

Yea I usually go a past frazo and do that down there and the other night 8-mile was fun eventhough I got smoked by the same car like 6 times it was 03-04 Cobra w/pully and exhaust, thats what he said but it was alot faster then other pully exhaust svt's ive seen.
If my car isnt fucked I will be taking your advise next week and get some money :evil:
