Oil pump destroyed itself and broke into about 12 pieces. Exhaust cam welded itself to a few cam caps, all EX valves bent. Intake cam is as good as useless. SOMEHOW the bottom end survived. A quick polish of the crank and it's good to go. Some of the big end bearings looked like they just came out of the box. Stupid Oil pump's. Good for nothing!

Bugger , that sucks ! just when it was getting some great results and moving forward ! which oil pump did you have on it ? I worry about mine as well but mine is "only" making 350rwkw , have not done a track day with this one yet , fingers crossed . Glad the bottom end is good though that is a small relief :thumbsup:

It was so strong. It was running an N1 pump. I was always worried about that stupid thing. It only had to last maybe another 3-4 months and it was going to be ripped out and replaced with a Tomei.

2.8 is getting sold. It's high comp 3.0 time :D

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
