Looks like the bearings spun.

Maybe too many sustained high revs? Thrown the oil away from bearings, dried and spun the bearing

Rear stat bearing is perfect however. Rotor bearing spins in groove on rotor. However it rattles with so much slop on e shaft. I dunno only done a handful of trackdays and 1 race.

re japi

Oh s**t... Really sorry  :c023:

I wonder, was e shaft balanced?
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Hi bud. Clive rang me and we had a good chat and he gave me some pointers on possible causes. Poss oil delivery to rear of engine during warm up phase.  Its done now need to look at my oil cooler configuration as could potentially scrap spare engine as well. You need to fly to England for Japfest and drive the blue 231 there and back home to help me out lol!

Wasn't blaming anyone about the just asking what oil you used. Is there a thermostat in your oil cooling system?
