Very Rough After Start Up Rb25Det Series 2

[Strick.]

Gday guys, ive attached a video of the first start up after changing a few things including plenum and fuel. Any ideas? It needs a tune badly but im thinking the timing is off? Ive been working on it for months. Oil pressure seems fine, the relocated oil filter is getting hot meaning oil flow. Would love to hear your thoughts

What do you mean changed fuel?

Have you pressure tested the plenum and pipework?

Sorry mate, meant fuel system, eg 040 and re-did the wiring.

Its a loud tick. Not a miss a tick, similar to tappet noise or similar.

Havent pressure tested the plenum and pipework no, i do know thats something i need to do. Was more focused on the tick to be honest!

Ok so same injectors?

That sounds pretty bad. A leak right at the head face might make an odd noise but that sounds different. I would still pressure test asap.

Same injectors however had them serviced and flow tested. Needed to lengthen the wiring when putting on the plenum too.

The tuner will be pressure testing it on Saturday when its getting tuned, just wanted some ideas to ease my mind a bit!

It must be oil delivery. Can anyone confirm this is right for my oil filter relocation and cooler

block to sandwich plate outer, cooler in, cooler out, filter relocation plate inner, filter relocation plate outer, back to block sandwich plate inner

Pulled the cooler lines off, plenty of oil, pulled the oil filter off, lack of oil! filled with oil then it started to rain so didnt turn it over again. Have i got my lines wrong! ive done it as what ive read and the arrows on the plates or would this mean the oil pump

Yep, had the lines to the filter relocation around the wrong way.....

Ran for about 10 minutes like this before i turned it off......

Wonder how much damage ive done...

sucks to be me!

So lucky me engine is seized. Woulnt start this morning, then after trying to start it had the seized clunk sound.

Upon taking out the spark plugs, the thread on number 6 (closest to the firewall) has had a big hit, number 4 has had a hit and number 1 the plug electrode has been pushed in.

Guessing its the valves hitting them? So thrown valves or something! Would i get away with a top end rebuild only?

Take pitty on me and sell me a cheap motor
