I haven't reinstalled the catch can yet. I have to make a new one as my air filer stole its home. But I've been unplugging the hose when I check the oil and there isnt a single spec of oil in it.

You really should undo the waste gate flap so it can't boost any more. It is run in enough now

Can't believe after all the cost labour and effort youve put into this new engine that your driving it untuned like its a daily...

I honestly thought you would of learnt from killing the last engine

[lilcrash]

I did have it unhooked only hooked it the other day.

Im not using it like a daily at all. I drove it to work so I could go for a mountain run after work.

If I could find tuner who I trusted it would be booked in, as it sits I'm just slowly putting ks on it waiting for my tuner to move.

Ok I'm going nuts. To me it looks like the oil is coming from above the oil pump. I had it running for over 10minutes without the top timing cover and nothing came out.

How common is it to crack the oil pump? I read it can happen if the crank collar is wrong.

[DVS JEZ]

It will b th oil pump gasket. Did u use a new gasket for the oil pump? Did u use sealant?

[lilcrash]

I used sealant. I think that's the problem. There wasnt a gasket in the kit. But I have 3 spare cam/crank seals

[The Mafia]

There wasn't a gasket so you just didn't put one on and used sealant?

That's te stupidest thing I've heard.

You my friend, need to take the engine completely out, remove the sump, remove the oil pump, apply a gasket with loctite gasket sealant (red stuff) and then put it all back together.

[Rolls]

Metal on metal won't seal dude, it might seal with sealant but will probably fail over time, you need a gasket....

[lilcrash]

well im sorry but when my oem gasket kit didnt include one i assumed it just used sealant. later i found out that it hadnt been returned to the kit.

i have a gasket now and obviously i am going to replace it but i just wanted a confirmation as to how many oil pumps had cracked.

Don't apologize to me, apologize to yourself for creating at least 2 days more work, money, and car off the road.

You have a stupidly long thread that many people are subscribed to, and you didn't ask? I though it was common sense that no two metal surfaces that keep in a liquid under pressure go together without a gasket?

[Rolls]

lol mafia relax

[lilcrash]

I can't see how there is even any pressure in there. It's just the air space in the sump and crank case. My breathers don't have any pressure so how does the oil pump? I can understand if it was the oil pump itself but yeah.

And I did ask people and they said the sealant should hold as its no different to the sump.

[mico]

lol !!! there should be around 80psi behind that oil pump man !!! not sure what pump u used but did u see the 2 small holes in the back of the pump ? they are diagonally opposite and are your feed to the filter and pick up. the feed to the filter has all the pressure !! after the filter it goes to all bearings on the crank, crank can only bleed off so much oil so then the relief valve opens !!! sht loads of pressure dude.

[BOOZTJUNKEY]

Unlucky mate one thing i learnt the hard way is NEVER ASSUME ( u no the old saying "when u assume it makes an ass out of u and me ) lol

it's a silly mistake we all make them tho just another learning curve

When is the engine coming out now ?

[lilcrash]

Il pull it out over Easter I guess.

I actually forgot about those 2 oil feeds. But that's exactly where it looks like the leak is.

[BOOZTJUNKEY]

God damn it's close to Easter already :-/

Have u asked why u didn't get the pump gasket in ur kit?

[DVS JEZ]

Paul from Red R Racing told me when replacing oil pump gasket use th gasket only and NO sealant. I was abit worried at first but has always worked

[lilcrash]

Yeah I contacted kudos and they sent me one. They had taken a few things out of my kit to sell and forgot to put it back.

[lilcrash]

Ok thanks dvs
