Hi Danny,
Hope your treatment is all going well mate.
Any progress on this eccentric shaft issue?
Or can you give more details of what you have found on disassembly?
Thanks, Mike

Danny, real sorry to hear you have had more problems.

Get the front pulley checked as I have known these to get bent and set up an imbalance in the engine.

This can happen when the gear box is pulled off and due to FD mounts being at the back the engine falls forward and can damage the pulley, I always used to wedge a wooden handled wire brush under the front pulley to stop any chance of this happening.

[rx7danny]

the pulley is brand new dm motor sport
the front bearing just exploded
hopefully be finished for le mans trackday

[JayDee]

How many miles had the engine done before this happening?

[rx7danny]

not many but couple of trackdays
2000 maybe
rx8 shaft and rotors back from balancing
should rev to 10000
got be done for 3rd august le mans trackday
and 18th for god of pod
