oh ok, it worked. forget about it.

 

There you go guys, everyone who wants to see it better get it while they can, because another board member has the video hosted for me.

 

Would you mind putting up a video or sound clip of the car after its warmed up so we can hear it idle down low?

 

As soon as the car is up and running again, and tuned, I will post up another video. I didn't take any other video of the car before the oil pump died on me.

 

dang, oil pump took a crap on you? how did you catch it before it tore the motor up?

 

I was on my way home about a mile and a half from my house and I made a hard right hand turn and it looked like my oil pressure droped to nothing for an instant. So rolling at about 20mph I descided to stab the gas and watch my oil pressure. Oil pressure shot up to about 45-50psi right away. Stayed there for a second and dropped to 20psi. Got out of the gas and the pressure dropped to 0, gave it a little gas to keep the car moving about 1500rpm and it brought the oil pressure to about 8-10psi, was right down the road from my house so I limped it home like that.


Replaced the oil pump, started the car and it was fine. Good oil pressure no knocking. Drove it for a little bit and there was a small clicking noise. Me being the way I am would rather something go wrong at this point rather than out racing (at the track... or whatever) so I pulled off to a side street and come to a complete stop and floor it. The car blew the tires off like it should, for a second, and then seemed to loose a little power, and then clicing and clanging. Turnes out that the little bit of lost pressure lead to me needing rod bearings and a new crank.


I've got a new motor I'm just too lasy to switch my heads/cam over to it and do a motor swap, hah.

 

ha...reminds me of when i finally finished header install at 5:30am over winter break...family was alsspe, siblings had to get up in under 2 hours for school, and I tried to convice them to come down.....didn't work though...

 

header install vs. heads/cam/headser install is a little different.

 

Sounds nice

 

DL works for me.
