Blown Engine

[rig136]

Hi people. As my title says, I broke my engine. After alot of hours trawling the forum for info. I've ended up with the shits and figured I'd just ask. Is there anyone here that has experience with building RB's especially NEO's. I wanna get some clear info on the oil restrictor for the head. I have read the thread on it that sydney kid has posted and it is very contradictory. Im kinda looking for someone, preferably local that I can talk with on the subject. Im hoping to do as much of the work myself as possible because, why pay someone else to have all the fun, so I feel that this rules out alot of engine builders etc.

Gary's thread is right, he knows his shit. It's the 300 pages since then that confuse things

Thanks mate. It's mainly used for street with a fair bit if spirited driving but I'm gonna be tracking it a bit and a bit of strip work. My current goal is 300-350awkw and will want to make more in the future. I figure its better to do the supporting stuff now rather than later.

Would not just placing a near stock RB26 in the bay be easier and cheaper then rebuilding a smaller engine to make excessive power? Still have the oil issues I guess, but the occasional track and drag probably does not need the oil issues to be solved.

Mine is totally stock and I still manage to chase Duncan's race car around the track successfully (When someone else is driving), and mine has not had any major oiling issues.

Stock engine are made with big tolerances, once you get to rebuilding engines, well nearly everyone has or knows someone with a bad experience.
