MADGT4,

In regards to getting a fine or loss of licence, just tell then you were on your way to a place of repair or coming back from it. Even if it was your friends place because he knows how to and has the equipment to remove your turbo timer !! works for me everytime :)

Well........Not Happy!

Was leaving work Thursday, bags packed to spend the weekend at port and on the way home the clutch started to slip. Took it to the mechanic first thing Friday morning and he said I would be mad to drive that far with the clutch as bad as it was. Spent the rest of the day shopping for prices for a new one and ended up with a ceramic heavy duty one for $580. Was happy about that and got a quote for $270 to have it put in and fly wheel machined.

In a couple of weeks will be looking at TRYING to head up that way again!

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
