Hello to all! Im also an newbie on this forum :D. Bought an R32 gtst about a year ago with swapped RB25, cp pistons, speedimports rods, acl bearings etc so i have been reading topics of built RB25's a lot. Two weeks ago i opened my engine, and i saw that the main bearings were gone pretty bad and the crankshaft had some small scrapes.. So ill start build my engine from zero point to mint! Ye, im from finland so my english is not the best, sorry for that! Cheers :)

Hi guys! Sorry for my late reply. I have been so busy at work these days..! But anyways we have plenty of ”jdm” aftermarket parts here in Finland, what is amazing! So It has never been an issue for me or to my friends to get some parts, thank god :D  We have a lot of ”jdm car part importers” here, but they are pretty damn expensive because of the duty payments, taxes and shippings etc. Nothing is cheap here, but at least its possible to build some crazy ass sh*t! :D  Ill do an topic of my build someday, no worries about that! :P

      For the record, I hate the colour. Even if I'll never see it again, I know its in there.

      This is another issue I'm fixing. This little valve stops all the oil from draining to the sump when the engine is turned off. What happens eventually is that the engine is a little noisy and has the oil pressure light on for a few seconds after turning it on. Basically it takes a few seconds to build the pressure when all the oil has drained. This valve is a non serviceable part and is attached to the oil filter housing, BMW suggests to replace the entire housing if this valve fails.  As it turns out this valve can be removed and that means you can get an aftermarket replacement, which I did. The failure, for me at least is that the valve doesn't seat properly after a while, which I've demonstrated. The new one is a ball end and always seats properly.

      Using Trickle Chargers

      Welp don't know if this is good but I can hear a sizzling sound in my battery Hope I didn't fry it. Turns out a bad battery in the multi meter will give a false reading (likely what happened when I said I had 15x volts), swapped the battery and monitoring now. I'm hoping that sizzling sound is just the equlisation charging

      Yeah I'm happy to talk to whoever, I don't want to take ownership or even manage it if they don't want but I can probably help with hosting on the sau setup. It's a great resource and should be protected.

      So, got some bits..   New oil filter housing gasket (main problem I'm trying to fix -see leak above)  While you're in there's: New belts, pulley and tensioners.  Vanos oil line New oil drain valve New water pump and pulley  New fumoto valve (all my cars have these). Some of this stuff seems ok now that I've pulled it out but I still have no idea how old it all is.  The belts looked fine and then I noticed this. Like somebody has hooked it with a pick.
