Oulton Park = Head Gasket !


Red Flash

Recommended Posts

Well folks,

Had an absolutely fantastic day at Oulton Park yesterday. The weather was fantastic, the track was fantastic the westy went exceptionally well considering the array of cars present.  Some very nice kit there in deed ;) and of course there were 2 westie's and 2 caterham's.

The morning saw about six entrants come to blows and the unfortunately claimed a few more during the afternoon session.

 

Unfortunately our westy with its 2lt pinto engine could not withstand the stress any longer and at around 4 o'clock at lakeside threw in the towel and blew a gasket, the head gasket to be presise!

Cylinder now takes on coolant as well as fuel unfortunately  :oops:

 

Hopefully in a week or so we'll be firing on all four cylinders ready for another blast. :d

Sounds like you had a great time ;)

 

We did thanks Andy.

We were at Anglesey circuit last month (3 x 20 minute sessions) and the track ate the tyres.  Were at Oulton most of the day and the tyres worn exceptionally well.

 

Hopefully we'll be back at Oulton next month progress on the repair permitting
