Same story on both halves of the bearing, and both measure at 0.0965" while spec is 0.0987" - 0.0988". That should do it.

True, appears to be in the soft metal of the bearing. The crank has some visual grooves but nothing that feels any different than the other journal when I move my finger/fingernail across the surface. Hoping I can get away with just replacing the bearings. It is at least worth a shot, if it...

Well, I think I found my issue. Was dropping the girdle today and taking a peek at the journals and bearings. All but one looked fantastic, but the one exception was exceptionally jacked up. I have never seen a bearing look like this, and I have no idea how/why it does. Hoping that the crank is...

Alright, back under it and the chain tensioner is indeed orange in my motor. Dug one more piece of plastic out of the oil drain pan from the other day and it is indeed black. Looks like the part that broke is something round, short, and perforated. BSD is tight, o ring on the pickup tube looks...

I believe my piece like that is actually orange. But I had just gone through all of the timing and had to look at those parts closely. I do not remember seeing any damage to those parts. Frankly, the bit of plastic does not look like anything I am familiar with in the engine. Wondering if it is...

I kind of figured as much, guess I didnt have it tight enough before haha. May switch to a canister filter while I am down here anyway. That cartridge is such a pain.

Good looks, I will take a close look at both of those o-rings

Alright guys, update. Went back through it today on a short schedule. Drained the 5w-40 Rotella T6 and took a close look at the oil. There were a few minuscule flakes in the bottom of the filter, but having seen what a spun bearing looks like, what I saw did not look very alarming. I pulled the...

Really hoping it is something in the screen, I will find out later today if the rain holds off. I spun a bearing in the past due to being a rookie but that was very clear with the sound it made. Not sure if i would be experiencing any NVH differences from a potentially "failing" bearing. And...

Right, I understand that may be the case. If it is indeed bearings, then it is just very strange that the clearances increased via the car sitting still, and the engine not turning. Like I said, the last time the car ran before yesterday the oil pressure was just fine.

Thanks for the reply. I see about 35 psi at 3k rpm cruising, maybe a little more. I can verify this number tomorrow. Close to the low end of things, but I'd rather be on the high end. I forgot to mention, that this is a built motor big turbo car. Only 10k on setup and this is the first of the...

Hey guys Backstory: Last year I had a wastegate failure on my car and the symptoms of a blown head gasket. The coolant temp would rise very quickly, the motor did not want to build boost. The seals in the CHRA blew and the turbo must have cooked when the car was parked. (Drove to destination...

Aww man :(

The turbo is off, and I have shaft play in both directions. The compressor wheel is worn down just slightly at the edge, but the turbine wheel is in good shape. Bearings sound shot. Just wonder why this could have happened.

Bad update: About a month ago I dropped to 2nd to pass some jackass doing 20 in a 40, and a pop with coolant all over the place. I feared the worst, but I coasted the 0.25 miles to my place and shut the motor off as I rolled into the driveway. Upon inspection, I found that my water...

Yeah i read that too, they all state that because its not road legal. But I remember reading something that snow and AEM were the only 2 kits that could actually handle it.

Why is that? It only maps flow rates and triggers if flow is beyond limits. Where is the discrepancy between meth and watermeth? which top lube. Purple? I heard AEM was one of the kits that was successful with 100% meth

Yeah it makes a lot of sense now. The failsafe may be the make or break. Though i am not sure how i would use it. I was looking at the AEM methanol failsafe. It maps out flow curves and if you exceed either limit it will send either a ground signal via one wire or 12v signal via another wire. My...

Yes sir, I would repeat this practice to see if i could get it quicker between pushes but no dice. But this makes me feel much better. I know youre PI, but did you have any issues with your kit? I am thinking about going with AN fittings and braided lines, as well as with a solenoid but have...

Well car has been out of storage for a bit now, and I am starting on my methanol tune. I tested the unit this weekend, and it sprays strong. But when I hit the test button, it takes a second or two for the nozzle to actually spray. Hoping this is just a feature of the test function. Anyone have...
