Ggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Sam,

Really sorry to hear about this further complication.  Mate, a good excuse to get some serious porting though, half bridge ??

i will know more when pip has the block appart etc.  

i am running a pretty big street port as is, and nicely ported intakes etc.  dont think pip will do a half bridge for road use, i heard that he wouldnt recomend it.  it is all down to warrantees etc for me.  as it is my only car at the mo, fuel costs would pay a huge part to, running a half bridge would leave me with some mental fuel bills etc.  

although a half bridge would def help with this privateers drag comp :evillaugh :evillaugh.  

when my engine went before it didnt cause the turbo any problems at all, it got sent off to be checked.  but all was fine.  but like i said, will see when pip opens it up

back on the recovery truck it goes.  

think if i could include the millage done on the back of a recovery truck i could double the millage done since first rebuild :2Confused :2Confused

Out of interest, when anyone suffers an engine failure, and ithas caused damage to the housings, turbos, etc - so there is swarf in the oil - what do you do with the oil coolers?
Do you flush or replace? I learnt long ago that the best thing to do when you suffer a failure like this is to replace the coolers. You can get a lot of debris in the oil. Flushing may work, or it may not.

It might be a reason why people suffer further engine failures in such a short time after replacing a unit? Especially if you keep the same oil coolers/don\'t flush them.

Unless you have a massive blow-up there should be no cross contamination from the dead tips/seals/turbo to the oil system.  By massive we\'re talking holes through to the oil cooling channels!

It\'s not the same thing as when a boinger lets go and shoves a con-rod through the side of the  bolck!

Cheers, that makes sense.
