*greg* Posted November 2, 2010 Author Posted November 2, 2010 Update:After having a major failure in the engine which was caused by no oil pressure, the head , cams , crank , 1 forged rod and all bearings are now scrap! So i am starting again! Pics below:Notice the heat marks ! And yes i know the caps on the wrong way round ! Quote
whiteglanzav Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 fuckin hell man thats shit i have a forged rod at home the same as that sat on my mantle piece caused by oil moving away from the pick up (oil pressure) i thought fuck it and built a forged 5e but i still got a baffled sump made which i think will hopefully prevent that from happening again maybe you should think about ithere is one my mate made !! Quote
*greg* Posted November 2, 2010 Author Posted November 2, 2010 i have thought about a baffled sump before , but it was the oil pressure regulator that had snapped off so the engine was running nothing near the required pressure hense why the cams went also. But because the wiring loom was in pieces the gauges werent wired up and the standard warning light didnt come on either.My fault in a way but shit happens. Quote
whiteglanzav Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 sorry to hear that mate if you need a pressure relief valve i have a good one spare Quote
