On March 27th, we took the sedan to the Test and Tune at Barberton Speedway to get some break-in time on the new engine. We ran the car three times, increasing the maximum RPM with each run. Two laps from the end of the last run, I began to smell oil. There was no smoke visible, so I completed the run and pulled into the pits.
After taking a closer look, we determined that an improperly installed valve cover gasket was the culprit. it was a little frustrating, as the engine is a brand new engine from the U. S. Legends Engine Shop, but it was better that it happened during break-in rather than in an actual race.
