So are you going cr on us with a b6 running irtb'zzzzz and some herra frush xxr's riding slammed out ricelands?

 

He's going full-on gay with a faded red '90 on daisies.

 

Full on homo huah? So he'll be on m.net a lot I'm thinking

 

So will this be a project or just a daily?

Cause if its a project I just don't understand how the **** going 1.6 and old body style will solve any of his problems.

 

just a daily, he's done being a boss

 

btw Jarrod:

Put a 1.6 in it lol!

 

f dat. I just want a chill na daily and the Cafe Racer will be my new death machine project. Ill do wheels, tires and suspension on the NA. May dick with simple **** on the motor just to get it a little more fun for the track and thats it

 

Wish they could ship that without beating it up too bad for under a grand.... would ditch this NA chassis in a heartbeat for that, minus the ugly front bumper. Glass bumper = broken bumper around here.

 

That dude was on cr.net building that car almost two years ago. Guess he got tired of it

 

?????

So what really happened to your motor? Several times, I have thought that my motor was toast. If you remember, my motor actually sounded like yours due to two separate issues- cam gear and timing plate.

Did you forget to run oil?

 

Seriously, if you are serious at least find out what the **** is wrong before selling your ****. Might be something minor.

 

How is your oil pressure with all this noise?

 

Its yet another spun bearing. I know the sound all too well. Ill be taking it apart this week.

 

man that is some crazy crap. how do 2 built motors both spin a bearing?
did you rev the bejeezus out of the car?

 

It's pretty easy when the bearing clearances are incorrect.

Jared I am sorry to see this happen man. I was hoping things would go better this time around for you.

 

Detonation raises cylinder pressure to a point where the bearings can get hammered. Would like to know what oil pressure looked like. I don't recall seeing a true oil pressure gauge in any of LF's in cars, but I may be mistaken. Would also like to see what the pistons look like. I'm on my phone and can' t find details of the tune. I also remember mention of compressor surge, a week or two back. Was that ever resolved or did you just flat foot through it in true LG style??

Really sorry to see the failure. Hope you have good luck with the cafe racer

 

Compressor surge only exists to make cool woo woo chuff chuf sounds.

Autopsy pics please!

 

Spun bearings on newly assembled motors is a more common phenomenon with the new reformulation of motor oils (removal of ZDDP). I added a bottle of supplement to the last new engine I built for this reason. Zinc and phosphorus form a barrier to protect the metal from contact when the oil film breaks down under extreme pressure. This is most critical at break-in or if you lose oil pressure.

Sorry about the run of bad luck. Are you still going to try to go to the MegaMeet?

 

Name of supplement? Do you add it at every oil change?
