sooooo sore from car this weekend hahahaha
its fixed :)
its at clear image auto beign used for r&d
after timing it i found out the hard way (almost 5 qts of oils) when it puked all over the driveway that i needed a new crank pulley seal :(

got that all done and its good to go now...havent got on it hard...still running a bit low on the oil pressure at an idle after a long warm up, but better then before.

i may get some dyno time out of this r&d work though....

What is clear image doing with it?
clear image is making a downpipe to go with a pace setter header

he had asked if he could borrow it...and obviously since its clear image its exhaust work of some kind...and they may want dyno sheets of what they are working on...either way ill have some vids when i get it back
im running on my stock crank pulley till i get mine back from mrz (they ahve to updatet he lower shaft...was wearing through).

im also still running low oil pressure at an idle :( trying to figure out if it is just thin oil (royal purple 5w30), the fact that im measuring head pressure(already accounting for the lower pressure from the block) or if there is a leak somewhere....
only leaks that could cause that are:
valve guides (replaced seals...but these may be bad)
piston rings
oil pump.

it only runs low once the oil is really warmed up...so im thinking its NOT the pump...


any ideas please chip in!

it more a low blood pressure you have

make 10 burn out
5 WOT 1-2-3-4 gear
