My engine problems turned out to be related to a malfunctioning oil pump -- I
fried two pistons in the first 10 minutes of use. Never again will I not
trust a new gauge [as Ted Schumacher said, use an analog not electric oil
gauge and you always know it is not wires]. So now it is another $1000 to get
the car back on the road/track.
These were new .04 over JE forged aluminum pistons. I can get more made, but
minimum order is for 4 [at about $600]. Does anyone happen to have any of
these laying around or know of a source that might have them. Got the ones I
have from David Weber of Malvern racing, but I do not believe he has anymore.
On another subject, I have been playing around with making some eccentric
brass bushing for the lower front A arm. These would have a means to rotate
with the intent of having a way to easily [or more easily than now], adjust
camber and caster. Thought of doing the same at the top, but it would be hard
to get to them. This is for a race vehicle, so not concerned about having
delrin or nylatron bushings.
Any idea if this would work?
