Its abit hard to say what the cause of the crack is. As far as abused not at all. Its never been to the strip, its done a powerplay/power cruise but only ever with about 21/22psi on e85 & me being pretty gentle not just thrashing it around the whole track & our street tunes have only ever gone as high as that on pump fuel. It has seen a fair bit of repeatable mid 30 psi runs on the dyno but we've never seen detonation or back fires to cause unexpected or irregaular cylinder pressures. Maybe as they say sh!t happens, They've also got a theory as to why we're having trouble with minor damage to bearings which we've rectified for now but only time will tell with that.As for my garage at one point I had enough parts including an engine to build another 600kw car lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've thrown the kitchen sink at it as far as making sure we limit the chance of it happening again.We've been running royal purple but we're gonna do a fair bit of research into finding something else that may be better soughted to our application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got a run in oil in it for the first 1000klm so we have abit of time to find something that fits our needs.Ive already got a quote on everything lol. Before you do anything let me know, we'll sought something out with freight. Being a dangerous goods its bloody exy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
