This could be, I’ve only seen it on engines that weren’t assembled by inteligent people and heavy or really heavy clutches or improperly adjusted really heavy clutches. Just disconnect the clutch switch and don’t ride the clutch. Only use it to shift when really needed like ride out gears longer, skip gears, don’t sit on clutch at red lights. The less amount of time you are pushing the crank over is a less amount of time that the crank is eating the thrust bearing. Higher oil pressure will also insure more oil on the thrust surface. I hope that the squirters were removed for block cleaning and all prep work.

gotta look at the receipts to see if that was done… but im guessing so because there was over $2,000 in machine work alone not including the price of any parts.

also, gary thoughts on an oil cooler. I thought i remember reading on the Link forums that some people have run no oil cooler at all. Since i dont have a air/air set up right now, i would like to remove as much unnecessary stuff as possible with this car to help lean up the engine bay and make it easier to work on, and less possible leaks. So would it work to just remove the lines that run coolant down to the stock 2g oil coolers and loop a hose on the two coolant nipples on the 2g oil cooler?

would the only time for worry be on long trips on the highway at constant rpm’s of 3500-4k??
