take all the plugs back out again, and check them.

was the white part of the plug cracked? did you remove the old plug properly, sometimes if you have the socket on a bit of a angle it will crack the plug and bits will go inside the cyl then can get stuck in the valves and cause all sorts of issues.

always use BCPR7ES plugs gapped to .6 (if you got coil issues)

btw love the ghetto old school extra injector setup.

Yes the white part of the plug had snapped. I just replaced them all. I looked around but no one sold bcfr7es.. Only online but it would have taken too long to get to my house so I thought I'd go with the 6 rating plug instead.

to confirm if its head related your ment to put a tiny bit of oil in the spark plug hole before comp test, this will seal whats ment to be sealed and comp result will go up confirming issue with the head.

when i broke my 20 ( air leak past afm + over heating+ on limiter ) it was a much more louder and metallic sound

Go to Repco, they carry those plugs in 0.8mm gap, run them on my RB20

    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
    • Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
