the perforated piston...

- el mirage is our home ground -

now shinya is back in the workshop from the canyon with fresh mind that is fully open and carefully pulling the engine apart.

さて、山で心を開いた後はショップに戻り、エンジンをバラし始めます。





 yikes!

あちゃー見事な穴が出現!




the temperature inside the combustion chamber got too high. shinya will diagnose the causes appropriately soon. i know he loves it.

燃焼室の温度が異様に高くなりピストンが変形して穴も開いてしまったようです。ではなぜ燃焼室の温度がそんなに上がってしまったのか、ボンネビルまでに原因究明しなくてはなりません。何だかんだ言って、木村氏はこういう原因を突き止めるという作業、結構好きなんですって。

shinya, how many miles or hours do you drive to go and come back ?

i know what you feel when you prepare a weekend for racing, drive thousand of miles, and the worst thing can happen,and come back without nothing to do.

wish you best luck for the following salt journey!
