How fuuking sheet is it when you do everything right, make conscious decisions and then stuff like this happens.

Fitted quality parts and still get f'd over

Cars can go eat a big one.

Come go kart racing. Twice the fun, basically none of the cost.

When you push components as hard as Puff does, stuff breaks... it's just how it is with engines... to build an engine and driveline that is actually reliable with 700awkw, you need some seriously strong parts (which would be double or triple or even more what Puff has spent) and even then little stuff breaks which can cause downstream catastrophic failures... Cars ain't cheap to run high horsepower... as the old saying goes, "fast, cheap, reliable; pick two and the other is near impossible to achieve"

 

Puff is lucky he has the tools and know-how to repair and go again :)

Haha the first thing the missus asked me when we saw the oil pump was, "so is there a billet upgrade for it?"

 

Yes there is and yes I'll be getting one. I'm also gonna be going with a fire ringed copper head gasket cos that last one (athena split ring) cost me over $450 and is a one use thing.

So yeah being a slacker and all I only pulled off the timing cover for a look. Fortunately the new timing chain guides are fine and the atomic m8 stud is unscathed too. Happy days!

 

So onto the carnage...Seems like the outer oil pump gear let go. Pics cos pics...

Sprocket is worn out to the sh*t. Probably didn't help.

 

Can you measure the chain for wear. I reckon you snapped a chain, which then went through the oil pump.

Obvs with all this stuff, it's normally guess work.
