Not sure if this is the correct subform to post this in
I just finished building my 1gb, put about 1000km on it and starting having clutch disengagement issues, had a couple other issues such as oil leaks, so I pulled the motor out and found the thrust bearing was completely destroyed, and killed the thrust surface on the crank as well. Before the rebuild, the motor had 220,000km on it and never had cw issues so I don't understand why it walked in just barely 1000km, I pulled the crank and put a newer one in, but before I did that, I ran the pump with a drill and primed to system to ensure that oil was getting to the mains properly, and it seems to be.
Now, I've setup a compound system using a 16g and the stock turbo, seems to work well, I used the stock oil line from the head for the stock turbo, and ran a line from the OFH for the second turbo, I was thinking that maybe having two lines would be pushing too much oil, and limiting how much gets to the mains, does that make sense?
Oil pressure always seemed low, but the stock guage sucks and I don't know exactly what my pressure is, but with the balance shafts eliminated, it should read higher than the first mark at 6k rpm, but it always read low, not quite sure why, it's a new oil pump as well so thats probably not an issue. Anyway, I just want it make sure it won't cw again, but I'm not sure exactly why it did to begin with
