well my rad. blew up and my car died the middle of the road after shooting out a 2 foot flame after driving it 15 miles in 90 degree heat with no radiator. I put a new rad in and and changed the plugs and it ran fine. I took it out on the road and the car seemed to run normal if not a little better. I went to move it today and i gave it a rev to like 4 grand and it shot out another flame but kept running.

could the engine have gotten so hot that it heated up the timing belt and it jumped a tooth? The timing belt is as tight as it always has been

im going to maryland in an hour (from tennessee) so i wont have a chance to untill sunday night. but i will have one up.

I think its awesome but i just dont want to burn a vavle or something. If it cant hurt anything then im leaving it cos it runs better now.
