damn theres some nice fab work going on there!

oh so close to a fire up!

yeah i've heard of the same thing .... there are also oil restrictor pushrods available so i'll see if i can get them in the size i need ... one way or the other i'll work something out!

yeah it was a really slow ramp too which wouldn't have helped things, a normal drag race is not that long hahaha! This is the oil drain holes from the head, then there is also a pushrod in each of them, so not a big hole, then from the lifter gallery theres a few large holes into the crank case Head...

man its making you work for it! but its getting there!

Well its been a while and ALOT has happened! so after i built the new motor, i put it on the dyno to confirm oil pressure and sadly it still had the same issue, i had more pressure but it still dropped off at high revs. we played around with different oil pumps and shims in the pressure side etc and...

while that might be the right thing to do, it sounds like alot of work

the main issue is it was really rich at first (almost flooding) and i didnt have a radiator in it so it never got to warm up and evaporate it the first time!

run it hot for long enough and the oil goes back to looking like new!

Burning off a bit of methanol in the oil!
