God damnit, even as clean as i tried to be a small aluminum debris got squished on a main bearing non grooved side (bottom of the engine). I tried to remove it with a sharp thin box cutter and got it out but left a tiny hole. The sharp edge took out a bit of the bearing, ill say its about a 0.5x0.5mm lil hole, depth: it isnt really deep but i do think it went through the coating and the first layer of the bearing, dont know if copper is seen. 

So im wondering if it matters really, i think it wont affect the general oil film but i dont know if im risking delamination from that small gouge.

Thanks, did, new set on the way, ill reuse the other good shells to get clearance on another engine (they are HX). Sigh, im so annoyed at this mistake. Im thinking one of the rags used to wipe the engine had a particle in them, or an oil galley. Dont know but big annoyance.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
