further onto the explanation of the cam gears....

I don't know if it the cause or effect.
Could be that the bolts were loose, causing the cam speed to dart back and forward, causing a bearing failure.
Could be that the cam seized slightly, turned the cam gear, loosened the bolts and kept going.

If there weren't any alloy in the oil, I would have said the gears were the only issue and put it all back together.
I really hope it's all it was and the alloy is just residue from the last machine.
But......
I want it checked now, while it's all apart. Better safe than sorry.

Emailed and heard back from hi octane regarding the spacer between the mount and original pump housing.
Meant to be 7.65mm
Used washers to achieve 7.6mm.

So, this afternoon, bolted the rest of trhe pump bracket up.

Installed pump gear.
Had to file down the keyway as it was too large and the gear wouldn't go on.
Used some thread locker on the Grub screws as I don't want them to come loose.(love the holes for the allen key)
Installed the belt and tightened everything up.

Now, in hind sight, not the best thing to do, as I still have to install the a.c. and power steer belts.

Should get a JHH distribution block like mine, it deletes the homosex OEM oil filter housing which is prone to corroding followed by mixing water and oil together to make a delish frappe with your oil

Could probably do it without that piece.
But, having so much oil, I do like the thought of the heat transfer helping get it to operating temp as soon as possible.

Fitted the rear head drain(after a long procrastination session).
One of those, I'll get to it soon, things, that didn't happen soon.
Had to "massage" the factory lines. And it's still a little snug, but should work ok.20180510_162626.jpg20180510_170615.jpg

Engine is in the bay.
Fighting me nearly every step of the way.
But, its finlay in there.
Clutch is in.
Gearbox going in soon.....20180518_171451.jpg20180519_144254.jpg

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.   
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
