Or uve got a blockage ina oil gallery/'sOnly thing I can think of the builder said he had to do some milling to get the atomic street girdle to fit. I was pretty sure you only had to mod the race plate. Does anyone know if the girdle sits very close to the oil pickup ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard rods have 10thou I'm just got no idea and its driving me bonkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cld be wrong though... Hope u get to the bottom of it either way... Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if the factory VCT cam gears are meant to bleed oil ? Th exhaust one is leaking more than the intake one. I asked brad from atomic and he's pretty sure that they aren't meant to.

The builder also said that because the gears aren't able to be checked normally that he is not going to pay for the 2 times the motor came out.Wait and see that this was the problem.
