the pistons retail for about $1k aus ... and the rods i think about $700 .... yes it would be nice to have spares for if anything happens again, but sure as shit it wont if i have spares on the shelf! as for welding up a cast iron block .... i would have said its not worth the effort ? i have other ...

Got the rest of the parts i needed to complete this adjustable oil pressure do-dad. 1.JPG 2.JPG This setting is af far out as the adjustment goes, and would put it on the original bolts collar, so theres plenty of room for adjustment, i've heard 2-3mm shims is what people put in them, so i have way ...

yep im running 2000cc injectors no problems in mine, the injector rate is getting down (.0204) but theres still room to go larger!

im running methanol, the low pulse width flow is still ok on these too, its not a full mist but its certainly a lot better than the dekas i used to have!

@vlad - yeah that is the info i have been working off for mods. as for the oil pickup, the ID of the pickup is ~14mm and then goes into a dash 12 i think it is, which measures about 15-16mm ID, i don't believe this is the issue, more so a lack of oil pressure or smaller orifices after the pump. and ...

looks awesome! i like where this is heading!

question on the SD logging, is it in tunerpro type format or just CSV or similar ?

@vlad - i have done a complete tear down, the block is empty. The only things i can find wrong are the fucked cylinder and some bearing wear on a few of the mains as well as the #6 rod end. I have always been concerned with oil in this engine after my oil pressure gauge was going to zero on the dyno...
