Risking Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) haha, thats a pretty good way to put it. Saturday is way to late. Didn't have a problem supplying oil to the head, its just where it was not going once it was in the head that was the problem... Sam rekons shit from the previous engine has blocked the gallery to the front journal of the exhaust cam. The head was obviously cleaned but blocked cam gallerys are not really something thats usually a problem. Luck it didn't get to far gone and the thing can be repaired. Jay's wrapped cause he gets to pull it back out now. Im liking this whole being sick and not aloud to do anything thing at the moment. Watching you lot put it in the first time was funny let alone again. Im going back to work tommorrow, im so tired of sitting around home! There's only so many steven Segal movies I can handle...

Risking Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Its still broke Chris. The head is repairable but we're half way through building another new head for it. Don't know exactly where the problem is with the old one yet so not taking any chances. New one just needs stem seals, valves and springs them clearances adjusted. Looking like we may pull the bottom end back out and double check there is nothing in the main gallery that could have blocked the head supply even temporarily. Once we got the head off the bottom end was cranked over to make certain it had good oil supply to the gallery. There was a massive mess as oil streamed out the restrictor. So far it seems there was something wrong either with the gallery to the front cam cap or the bucket bleeding off oil to the front gallery. Either way its really annoying as the head was litterally removed cleaned down and bolted back into place.

Duncan Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 hey there are still 4 weeks to next round, it will be back then for sure. lol famous last words... I've sort of been sooking since I missed this round as well. We did get that motor back together but a related problem saw the new one die pretty much straight away. At least we know the cause now In any case, the motor is back together and sealed so my next race will be the day/night meet (last one??) at Oran Park 1 August. Next state round is not until mid September at Wakie. There was a round on this weekend, and aren't the taxis going quick these days. Gus' new monaro did 1.46.5 in qualifying...bloody quick for a stock 2 door taxi. Jim ended up winning the round in his dinosaur. Best modern car was Gerry's evo 7 in 6th. As for the other categories....the BSM GTR was not out again, and as usual the sports sedan field was rubbish, 9 finishers in the last race. improved prod is struggling for entrants too with only 24 finishers between 2 fields (over and under 2l). And very sadly the over 2l improved prod quickest car was slower than the production cars quickest. Its basically a crap time for quanitity and quality of entrants in racing.

Hey Dunk, is it true that the Commondoors don't have to run the class control tyre (Kumhoo) while everyone else does?

Duncan Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 lol I'm sure everyone follows the rules. unfortunately the rules have been changed until the end of the year, no more control tyres. all this means is that instead of everyone running on same kumhos (1300 a set to me) we all run the best tyre (dunlop dz03) at 2600 a set Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/259641-nsw-state-champs-09/page/6/#findComment-4716648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risking Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 After ALOT of screwing around and what ive now called Duncan luck he has just taken the car and its even driven 300odd Km's!! We've now got a really nice sump which has a slight leak but fixable, a nitto oil pump and external pick up and a heap of other little oil mods which should keep the bearings going roundy round Bring on the next engine failure Duncan im sure there will be something else interesting next time around. We do also have a spare now though which is almost completed. Day nighter in a fortnight and so far its looking like duncan WILL be there.

Risking Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) sweet let me know how it goes. Im sure there is a few little things that will need to be tidied up underneath the car, like the box breathers and silly shit like that. Bring on the day nighter!! Oh and dont forget the oil filter! Sam is anal about cutting it open to check after the first few changes. Bring two spares to the track as well Edited July 20, 2009 by Risking Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/259641-nsw-state-champs-09/page/6/#findComment-4724928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
