with the 2011 route 66 rendezvous coming up in just a month i thought about this ......
last year at the route66 rendezvous KTLA 5 morning news did a segment on the different events during the (4) days which included the neon lite contest ,open header contest ,burnout contest and a general overview of all what happens during the event .well i signed up for the open header contest thinking i was going to rev my camaro up for the camera and that didn't happen . during the show the producer asked me if mark kriski could start my camaro up and rev it to see how loud it would go and nervously i answered yes knowing something might happen
well i'll let you watch the video but after telling mark to rev it only to 5k rpm and let the revs fall down to 2k rpm then rev it back up and also setting my shift lite to come on things didn't turn out so well after he exercised my motor . as you watch the vid you can see me starting to not like what was going on and could tell he was reving it farther than 5k rpm and not letting the rpm drop like we agreed to
well after i got back into my camaro to move it away from the cameras i really didn't notice anything until i walked back over to my car to put the exh back on .there i noticed the fan belt was completely twisted on the pulley's and no tools to fix it i had it towed back to my place .the belt was easy to fix and after a put the exh back on and started it up i heard a definate clatter from the rocker arms and pulled the v/cover only to find a very loose rocker arm and tweaked pushrod , luckily i had another pushrod and re-lashed that valve and all was good
here's the video
this was friends of mine at the same morning news segment ....
