So after engine #1 lost oil pressure on the dyno from an oil pump problem from foreign material... i decided i can still use this engine, i found a good crank and some new bearings to get the job done! enjoy
Yeah I used to use engine oil but after removing the bearings after the first start up, there was damage already on the bearings. I now use an engine assembly lube/grease on all moving surfaces before start up
Matt Berry not taking the piss mate, trying to lead you on the right path without handing over the answers. Hopefully the engine holds this time. If it does send me a high res pic of the spark plugs
+andrew1977au nah all good I know what you were like 10 years ago 😂 never could tell when you were fucking around. I'll be happy to send you some info. You were always cluey about the little things. Cheers!
Matt Berry lol still am dude. I got Pete’s laser to run a 10.6 with is 1.6 and the cylinder head off my street car. His new car has ran 9.4 (all motor) both fwd, you’ve got a long way to go but keep things simple and you’ll get there.
@@MattBerrymotorsport Oh good 😅! Because I’m building and 5efhe and i cleaned the valve. I also added another thin washer to up the pressure a bit because I always hear the 5e suffers from low oil pressure.
@@madmovements619 the extra washer does nothing. i dont even use them anymore.... watch this video, it explains why these engines have oil pressure problems... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BGKPx1ynYuA.html
So the problem was useing chinese beer cans for bearing or assembly lube? Lol. Side note could prolly use beer cans as shim material if your con rods are worn
