OK pps

seems the weapon has developed a rattle coming from pot number 4/5

My mechanic is telling me it's the big ends

The engine is still quite new - only 20,000klms since full rebuild - so what should I do

just replace the big ends (rechecking the crank) - or should a more complete build be considered ?

Also - pointers on what bearings to use this time around - I used Race Pace last time I think ??

20k and its shagged bearings already?

Rebuild wasnt done right i would think if thats occured.

Dont turn it over anymore, least damage the better

already @ workshop

combination of heat and bad fuel

thermo fan popped a fuse while I was in bumper to bumper traffic - and I was not running PULP !!!

wife filled car from budget provider - did not tell me until I asked !!!

I had the engine done over 3 years ago no (don't drive it much) - has not missed a beat - until now

Annyyywaaayyy

any advice on what to do ?

I'm very tempted to just replace the bigends and leave it at that - comments ?

Providing you don't run it anymore you should be able to clean the crank up easy enough. You can usually just put new shells in after checking the rods/big end caps too.

I doubt regular fuel killed it, I would say the rebuild was shite to begin with.

WELL, non premium fuel and overheating doesnt root bearings. full stop.

to comfirm this a v8 brute that we worked on had the thermo fan die on the grid. it went out to race with 120 degrees on the water guage. it overheated so bad it warped the heads and the block just over 1mm on the worst part. the head bolts were blue on the areas where the block was. so apart from completly ruining the motor we pulled it down and the bearings were fine!! either its the penrite or something else.

my guess is its a asembly error or a case of oil surge.

oh dear, what a horror story

like dave said, there's gotta be some other type of reason of the failure, i'd be finding the root caus before u put it together again!

and b4 u ask - yes I still want the bonnet :nyaanyaa:

haha ok, like i said in the emails drop by when uve got time mate, it'll be sitting there for awhile lol (just give me a days notice and i'll polish it up for you :happy:)

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
