Hey I love the build!! would love to see some engine pics, it sounds amazing. I'm installing some webers and trd cams on my bigport right now, just waiting for my electric fuel pump to show up. do you mind me asking about how much power you're putting out?

[RVAMitchell]

I actually have no idea!

Big updates! I went drifting at the track and stopped driving because I lost oil pressure, and this is why.

Found these in my oil pick up screen. on the pump side.


Here is the pump


here is the stuff in the screen


This is really weird, I think when it started to get hot, the rear end of the crank expanded, and the bolts started to walk out. Causing the input shaft to wobble, causing the pilot bearing to implode, causing the bearings to get in-between the flywheel and the crank




discovered this was done to the engine


Purchased a parts washer today, to clean everything. no pics of it yet


This was the only damage on the crank surface


all my parts all laid out


The block is really good, needs the be honed, but no damage thankfully!

I have other updates I need to post. I will get around to it later.

I pulled my frame, and rewired my entire car, and put a racing dash in!
