What was the reason for failure?

8mm shim in cyl 4.
Then the weather came and messed with my steel sleeves..

Ouch.. That really sucks.

Few turns of flexhone should bring the cylinders back in no time though.

Thats the plan

I understand you are looking to increase oil pressure near red-line (above factory spec) by somehow porting the pump. Would you explain a bit more on this, I'm very interested on the modification and philosophy!

ealoken

The idea behind this is to lower the vacum before the pump, making catitation and shiming the oil harder.
Making it easyer for the pump to get the oil in.

So, the threads holding the oilpickup went ****.
the bottom end is in the Block again.

Erik, this blows, can you elaborate on what led to the failure of the threads? Does this engine have BS's installed? Are you using solid or semisolid motor mounts? I am installing modded oil pickup tube and considering further gussets to help prevent any pickup tube related failures this weekend.

ealoken

This has been over torqued by someone one time.
Im running OEM mounts.

Sorry, that sucks! Thanks for the reply.

kW v3 sold, hello KW clubsport 😁

LS swap?

ealoken

No way!

The engine is coming together again.
But the big house renovation takes all my time.
