Oil Pump Crank Collar R32- Rb30/26

[exXU1]

Dear people,

I have conducted a search and found no info, so i need your oppinion.

I am currently building a meduim to high hp rb 30 /26.

I have assembled the bottom end and all good gear has been used .

BUT dam it i did not get the crank oil pump collar widend.

No one over here in WA does it any way.

I have just been informed that this was a crucial mistake and my N1 on the standard crank will not last 5 minutes , i tend to disagree.

Is it mainly in tired r32 rb26 engines that they let go ?

If this is the case what if i replace every , say x amount of km's.

Will this help or is it simply an hp issue.

Sometimes i wonder if some things i get told from tune shops are simply a "turnover factor " . Please enlighten me on this if you would not mind , are there any alternative measures i can take . some one mention a collar that can be bought or made .

Thanx

i brought a JUN crank collar about 200 bucks from greenline but i think these are grub screwed in so may be hard to fit if engine is together.That was for an R26 crank not sure about the R30 cranks
