Nice bro! These engines are starting to demand more money in Australia now too 😬 but I’m still Keen to try it on mine scared tho haha I’m stupid too so lesssgo send it 🤙🏽
Hi Matthew thank a los for the video, very very good job and thank you for the quality 1080. I have a question I repeat the same instructions and everything like you. Today I start the engine and no flow oil to the head anything idea ?
What did you use to plug the oil gally after pulling out the original plugs , did you put the head gasket on the proper direction? … are you building oil pressure at all ?
Great job! Nice to see someone doing it! Will you also drill the screw and centering holes for the oil squirters or will you only use the oil feed line for the turbo?
I’m only going to use the turbo feed , the oil squirters would be way too hard to drill out and make everything aligned perfectly.. plus I’ll be doing aftermarket rods and pistons
@@Feedme_pizza are oil gallery for oil squirters arlready in the block ? Like for the turbo feed, just a "finishing process" between ge/gte. There is already the gallery on the left isn't it ?
@@Kacpa2 I dont even think I would do this to a junkyard car, Although idk if I would bring it to a machine shop, should I? Get them to resurface the head/block etc?
@@804MRMAN having the oil supply for the turbo on the exhaust side let’s you run a shorter oil feed line . Not have a long line running to the intake manifold side
@@Feedme_pizza In the video you note the drill is a 3/16 inch, which is only about 5 mm. Are you able to clarify, which size you actually drilled? As well, can you share the spec of the OEM plug for this port on the GTE block? It'd be amazing if you were able to measure the size of the galley drilled in the original block; maybe a photo down the plug hole? Thanks for sharing this video and info!
@@reklipz yes I first used a 3/16 drill as it was the longest one I had at the time . I later did drill it out using a 5/16 drill bit ,it’s just about 8mm .. factor oil passage is just over 9 mm .. without having the oil squirters in place there was no need to go up that big of a size .. as for the plug I used a 1/8 npt tap and will use a Hex plug. For the actual oil feed I tape the block with a 1/4 npt tap and will be using a 1/4npt to 4an fitting .. as close to factory as I’m willing to go. Hope this helps
