As the title says, just wondering how many other people seem to have a "black cloud" that follows their car around? Everytime I seem to work out all the bugs and get the car right, I encounter another big setback. How many of you have had multiple engine failures and kept at it until it was finally right and how many have given up? I'd like to hear from guys who have had similar experiences and their advice and or regrets.

a black cloud?? Sure it isn't like a whitish/bluish cloud? If you have black smoke following you around then you may want to lean the car out a little

i was the only local to have a built motor, took it to a reputable shop ... it blew ... spent money to fix it and build it again ... it blew .... this third time it looks alright though...

I know the feeling of that black cloud brother ... it sucks.

i used to have a grey blue cloud with a lil black in it follow me around.

we used to call it the smokescreen, and sometimes if there was someone i didnt like on the road id get in front of them and boost it up, leaving them to smell the cloud of **** coming out of my exhaust haha, im an *******

in a serious note, do you run a cat? maybe its clogged up or has fuel in it thats burning when the exhaust goes through

Went home to get new puley and bolt, brought the wrong bolt (for a B) and had to do it over again.

thanks guys, i knew i wasnt the only one. i did mean **** for luck by black cloud, not black smoke literally. The car is in very capable hands this time around and I think the problem is finally found. Moving sleeves will take out head gasket after head gasket.....

I hear there's better weather on the way.

I know what you mean. But I tend to learn from it at the same time.

It has taken quite a few lumps and belive me i have learned the hard way, but honestly the things that have happened really were things that shouldnt have but did because it was me, i am convinced of that.
