No, Capitalist Cuban Surfers who escaped Communisim and now live freely making money, living large, and surfin'

they would hang ten on your willie if you called them communists.

 

So I decided I wanted to start working on ducting this weekend. Saturday night I liberated a local political sign to use for ducting. Or at least for templates until I make some aluminum ones.


This morning on the other hand I went to drive the car to work and had no oil pressure. I spent all day hoping that it was just the connector to the sensor fell off. I checked this afternoon the connector was still on perfectly. I then unhooked the spark plugs and undid the vvt oil line and put it into a bottle. I then started cranking the car trying to build pressure. I got none and when I checked the bottle it had no oil in it. So I am guessing my oil pump died in some way shape or form. I will be calling Travis to order a new one in the next day or so.

 

oil is overrated. ask min.

 

Coolant too

 

oh wow

 

Damn, sorry dude.

 

it could have been worse, it could have failed while driving

 

sounds like that is what happened,


check your oil for metal "dust"

i'd bet you're ok but...

 

Damn... Lars, sorry to hear that.

 

Yah actually if u r pulling the motor may wanna pull oil pan too and eyeball ur bearings n cyl walls etc.

Mighy save u some rods n pisons. Hope all is fine thoigh

 

Luckily he's noticed, "hey my oil pressure is lower than normal, I need to look into that." Then slowly but surely, he had zero. So I'm sure all is fine once he does something about the oil pump.

 

I am in contact with Travis at BE. I will be ordering a new oil pump sometime today or tomorrow. The motor will be coming out in the next few weeks. I will replace the oil pump with a new one. Then will probably replace all my bearings to be on the safe side. At the time I will also be doing a bit of other maintenance things. I need to replace my rear main seal. Also need to replace a few of the seals in the transmission. Hopefully get a trans temp sensor installed and hooked up.

So what are the odds I get my engine out, oil pump fixed, and engine back in before Failflora gets his car back on the road and then onto the dyno.

 

1:100

 

So high that Vegas won't take action on it.

 

Run a knock sensor this time.

 

acutally, do you have the knock sensor on the NB block?

you should pick up the new knock module for your ms3 and wire that puppy in.

 

There is a better chance of Faeflora eating this:

Than dynoing his car.

 

I mean he'd eat the potatoes no problem.

 

but he has to eat ALL-OF-IT.

 

the grill too?
