Usually, all things look great on the drawing board but sometimes don't go as planned once you leave the class room.

One will also find "issues" racing a quarter mile compared to an eighth. That last 660 ft can expose problems the eighth mile guy will never see.

Wasn't his bearing issue due to an oiling issue that Chief was doing wrong........something simple?

The lifter bushings were slotted.

That is what was causing him to take out the bearings...The other problem, before that one, was a push rod issue...

What do you mean by that? Chief is the one that told me it was because of the grooves he had cut in the bushings...Said Reher Morrison turned flipped the bushings and put grooves on the lifters to fix it...Cant see any reason why he'd lie about it.

Remember Chief also said he’s running nitro and I’m pretty sure you said he was living, if I remember correctly.

Saying something on TV, to sensationalize and grow attention, is slightly different...

Chief didnt blame the problem on anyone else, he said he had cut the grooves in it himself...

I find that if a person lies about something ..........they'll lie about anything!

Not Chief's fault but a simple fix once you know the answer. No one in the Pontiac camp knew the answer.
