It's just a matter of "How long?" and "How much?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee reckons to pull out and put back in is about 13 hours labour plus all fluids. That's a expense I can't afford hopefully the engine builder has some sort of warranty on workmanship as I supplied all the parts :( If ever there was a need for a Xmas miracle now would be the time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you had oil pump gears in it? With pressure dropping like that maybe the pump has hydroliced and craked the housing. Could be a number of things. How long did the motor last before it broke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the motor got pulled out change the spool oil gears over to Atomic ones and new pump casing and put back in. Oil pressure only raised up another 3psi which is still not enough ffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkk. So the motor is now coming back out and with discussions with Real Dyno Performance and PLR engines and Atomic the problems is something to do with the Spool rods have to much end clearance. Hopefully this time the problem is found but the thing that suxs the biggest balls is Xmas time shut down of both shops meaning won't have the car for Xmas and won't be running till mid January raaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.I have to say Lee from Real Dyno has got to be the best dyno shop operator in the country he has gone above and beyond any shop with regards to this problem and I thourghly recommend him to anyone in South East Queensland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
