Holy shit those guys are idiots, i hate to say it but that's not gonna come of in one piece. It'll have to be cut off because a 0.2mm interference fit is tight as f**k. A fit that tight should see the collar heated up, slipped on the crank and left to shrink on.

I shrunk my collar on with a 0.1mm interference and 0.1mm crush on the length, 270rwkw and 7000km's with some pretty hard driving and it hasn't let me down.

this happened to me, years ago.... except we built the engine and ran it like that.

What ended up happening is that the collar wore through the back plate of the timing gear, then that caused the balancer to come lose, the balancer started to flop around and it destroyed itself, also it destroyed the crank, then keyway was screwed in the crank.

Nothing i could to but replace the crank, then the new crank that came back from the same engine builder was the same! the collar was sitting over the crank itself. It was only after looking at the new crank for 1 hour trying to work out what happened when i figured it all out! was pretty happy i did not have to go all around and rip the motor appart again for a third time???

I took it back and asked him just to machine it flat so that collar is flush with the crank, 5 years and 160,000km later and all is still good. (inspected it a couple of months ago)

good work for picking it up, saved yourself alot of cash and time etc etc... mine is not grub screwed, and its still working like a charm..

Looking at one of the photo's close up you can see metal that has burred up and jammed it from them pressing it on so heavily. That tells me two thing: first of all those guys are sloppy, second that the chamfer on the inside diameter of the collar isn't big enough to accommodate the radius i can see on the crank.

With that said i would bet that it's not going to move towards the crank shoulder any more than that so machining the front off leavingabout 0.1mm of overhang on the face for the crank pulley and balancer to tighten down on.

Also make sure they machine back the start of the drive flats so doesn't protrude into the front seal area.

I'm bored so i put this drawing together to explain, you could give it to those drongos to fix it because it looks like they need all the help they can get.

      Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.

      I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.

      Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.

      Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.

      hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
