Sorry to hear it....

Argo rods too, bummer. I'm running Argo's in mine so hopefully I don't meet the same fate!

I've seen crank oil galleries blocked from a ball of sealant that has fallen off the sump to block join over time. It's very easy to overdo it went applying it.

Other than that the fact that it happened on cruise is a worry. Hopefully there is a clear cut reason as it sucks arse when a motor dies and you don't know why!

Im going to pull the oil pump apart today, but i was still getting normal pressures, so I doubt its the pump. Only about 2,000 miles on her since the rebuild. Havent even turned up the boost :( I was fun as hell at 12psi though.

I wouldnt think it would get any better the a R.I.P.S. build. Everything is out now, so its no longer a rips :( Anyone can assemble them, but not to his specs and attention to detail, Although I think i will debur the inside of this block, its ugly and quiet scary looking.

The number one piston is out of round by 8 thousandths. and the crank is egged. So for sure needs a new crank and rod.

Anyway, more disassembly pics.

IMO the mains dont look great, but its hard to tell from pics, the fact all the big ends are trashed points to oil issues, could there be contaminants in the cooler etc? have you asked rips? Theres not somthing funny like oil thermostat or oil filter block incorrectly plumbed? how do the cams look?

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
