Oleg, Matt had his oil cooler sandwich adapter get loose after following Mocal's torque specification. He's increased the torque to keep it tight.

All because I didnt put $2 of mesh in front of the radiator...

I don't know about "good" news. Expensive news. Hard lesson learned news. Anyway its back up and running. It does feel faster, but this may be the placebo effect.

Was taking the Z06, met Lou at the gas station here and then the car started running rough and threw a CEL. , so I turned around and grabbed the Miata.

It's nice to have a Spare track car that was just at the track and ready to go.

So I have a Misfire in Cylinder 7, could be a spark plug, plug wire, coil pack or a broken valve spring (). the latter has been a issue with some higher mileage LS6 engines.

Great track event though, we had the track to ourselves, just parked in the hot pit,

No 7 Cylinder Spark plug wire was not connected, it must have been really loose for a while.
