Possible Engine Failure...please Help Any Ideas?!?!

The restrictors used depends on the cylinder head and oil pump used. Neither of which you have stated. The name of the company that does the oil testing was mentioned only a few posts ago. They have places all over the country so what makes you think they aren't local?

If your friend did not measure clearances, then don't let him touch it again as it sounds like he doesn't know what he is doing

needed a log in for some reason to get onto the ALS website, but the above one says it is performed at ALS. looks like it wouldnt be a bad thing to do every 6 months or so to keep an eye on things

My complete set up is

rb30 bottom end, forges wiseco pistons

shot peined rods

all bearings (mains,big ends etc are all acl Race)

slightly polished crank

honed and bored by engineer

fully balanced

1 tomei 1.5mm oil restrictor

n1 oil pump with no collar

using a recond r32 rb25DE head.

I'm in New Zealand not Australia bro, so will try to find something around here I rang around yesterday and possibly may have found 1 business that does it but they weren't picking up the phone might give it another go today.

As far as im aware I think he just put the bearings on without measuring the clearances etc, I will ask him.
