Oh my! This could get fun.
I'll be putting a wrench on my car for the first time since Aug this weekend.
I need tires and brake pads if anyone is in a giving mood!

What pads are you running?

Rob Liebbe

Trade you a set of two year old 16" RA1's for a cage! They almost won Nationals.

GlennCMC70
02-27-2012, 10:46 PM
XP-10'sF/XP-8'sR. I just need something to get me thru the weekend.
Rob - better than the 245/16 RA1's I was given w/ a date code of 1997!
Mosty - still want to give up a set of those 17's?

Glenn,
Boudy has some 888's of mine that you can run. I'm sure everyone will be MORE than happy to let you do that and just turn a blind eye... You can even keep them when you are done.

Cody Powell
02-28-2012, 11:38 AM
Glenn, I have some 10's that should easily get you through the weekend. They are yours if you want them.
I also have a bunch of tires, they are on ZO6 wheels you can just run what you need.
How hard on tires is this track?
Also how fast is this track? Do you use 5th gear, mine is making wierd noises?

Man I'm really starting to get the itch and hate I won't be ready. I'm sick of polishing three piece wheels. I am trying to find Liebbe some GT40 heads and hear Covini is working on a old mustang with a coyote motor and the racing ABS setup for AI!

Glenn, I have new pads on my car and a new backup set. XP10F/XP8R for my LS1 brakes. Is this what you need. If so, you can use them.
I have some 16" tires and wheels as well. How about some Hoosiers?

I have 3 or 4 sets of XP10s with a day or so of life left in each of them. They're for C5 calipers though...are you still running those or did you switch back to LS1s? I also have some 17" NT01s with plenty of tread you're welcome to as well.

WOW!!! Thanks for all the offers of tires and pads. I had my annual performance review today and was told what my bonus amount was. This allowed me to get a new set of tires on order. So I should be good to go w/ tires. I'm still working the pad issue. Mitch is gonna bring up some take off's on Sat and we will see what we can come up w/. Still gotta get to the dyno as well. I hope Sat after next I can get over to Alamo and get it done.
Bring your extras if you can. I may not be the only one in need.

Think Im out. Too far of a hall not knowing if I have my overheating problem fixed yet. If im gonna blow up the engine Id rather do it at Driveway Austin on a 50 dollar practice session than waste 300 bucks and all that gas and do it in the warm up. Gonna get the oil cooler on this weekend and do a few other things soon. Hopefully I can get it all sorted out and be confident enough in it to make Hallett.

I will officially not make Cresson. There simply are not enough hours in the day for me to get the car race ready with a properly prepped engine. Too busy at work (not complaining). I will either be at TWS ready to kick ass, or I will set all of this shit on fire. That is all. FMR

Come on Dr. Frank. You can do it if you want. I work from 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM at my job then from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM on the car every night. Plus we have this weekend.............

LS
Richard's Machine shop in Euless

What's wrong....still trying to figure that out. At MSR-H, on lap one, my oil pressure suddenly dropped to zero, and the motor locked up before I could pull off. The engine had a light-rebuild, and only had about 5 hours of dyno time on it.
After I took apart the engine, rod bearing #4 had spun, and 1-6 were heavily scored. The oil-pump (previously new) had zero signs of wear, and had no contaminates in it. The oil pan was full of bearing shavings, and the pump pickup screen had shavings on it, but none made it into the pump. I didn't find shavings anywhere on the top end. I keep forgetting to cut apart my oil filter to examine it.
So, I'm not sure if low oil pressure lead to the rod bearing failure, or if the bearings killed the oil pressure. If not the bearings fault, I'm not sure what to blame.

My crank was warped, and is being replaced with a used unit. The block is currently being line-bored (I hope).

When the pickup tube was pulled off the oil pump during the "light rebuild", the o-ring that seals the tube to the pump was either left out or was damaged during the reinsertion.
At some point, you began cavitating the pump without a proper seal.

Dulaney
03-09-2012, 11:52 PM
I put a new o-ring on it, and I doubt I screwed up such a simple thing.

Did you use ARP Rod bolts? Their instructions say you need to resize the rod ends after torquing them to spec. I have read of similar failures to yours when skipping this step and I have read about guys having no problems when skipping this step. Not saying this is what happened just throwing it out there, also this doesn't explain the lack of shavings anywhere other than the pan?
We have been using katech rod bolts specifically because they don't require this step.
Good luck with your motor, I hope you make it to Cresson

Dulaney
03-10-2012, 08:53 AM
Yes, I did use APR rod bolts, as was suggested by a couple of people. I did not know that the rods should be resized, since they install from the cap side. My machinist also believes this to be the cause. Great info for the future, thanks!

Block was not ready yesterday...boo
they have some pro 5.0 build that's more important. It's not Richards fault per say. He had to sub contract the line-bore, as he's unable to do it for aluminum blocks (weird).

I'll still swing by on Saturday for a bit.

Might surprise you how easy it is to do and how many times it happens.
Very common occurence with results just as you describe ... fine for a while then catastrophic loss of oiling. 5 & 6 carry the brunt of the damage because they are last to get oiled.

I picked up the block last night, assembled it, and got it in the car. Still a lot to do.

MikeP99Z

I idle it for a few minutes, check oil pressure and water temp, then I back it out of the trailer, put it in 1st, rev it up, sidestep the clutch and hope for the best.

Hope that helps.

Alien
03-13-2012, 11:55 AM
I suppose you could chock the front wheels and put the rear end on jack stands and slowly go up thru the gears. I've done this on cold cold dyno days to warm up the trans and diff before going WOT. Maybe drag the brakes to put some load on the engine.

Casey_SS
03-13-2012, 12:08 PM
Might be overkill but here's what I would do:
1. Start engine and check for leaks, good oil pressure, etc.
2. Bring it up to ~2000rpm and hold it there for a few minutes after the temp stabilizes. The idea is to heat cycle the valve springs before they see race conditions.
3. Change oil
4. In first practice session, repeatedly run it up to 5k or so, let off and coast down to 3k. The idea is to make sure the rings are fully seated....shouldn't take much with modern rings.
5. Go race and hope for the best.

Looks like I'm out... Jeremy killed my spare trans at Houston that I was hoping would live through this race. Will have both rebuilt before TWS so I can get back off of the grass in 2.

I'm still coming to hang out and talk a bunch of crap.

Talk to Jason... I signed up for him... most of the info is incorrect...

I am not going to pay for a dyno just for 1 event.

I'm sure the AI guys are not gonna mind. All you gotta do is ask them.

Thought you just rebuilt a transmission???? and how did "Jeremy kill your spare"? and why do you want to be in the grass at T2???

I got an offer for a loaner trans so I'm thinking about it; Mitch, you up to loaning out some dry shop space?

There's a T56 sitting on the ground in my garage. You can come up Thursday, stab it in, spend the night, leave Friday morning with Ol' English and me.

It runs!

Any body have an extra LS1 dipstick and tube? Mine got bent to hell on the install, and the o-ring isn't even touching the block.

Edit:You should probably e-mail me for faster responseDropped you and email. Thanks for all the offers. Dropped the trans out last night and planning to pick up a spare from Al this afternoon, and install tonight. Cuffing at the track mid afternoon - somebody save me a little room.
