    1G Oil pump failure working on rebuild

    I just ran out to my garage and pulled the oil pump apart to see what the problem was. The gear that rides on the timing belt turns hard and wobbles, and the gear inside the pump looks like it was chewing up the housing.

    1G Oil pump failure working on rebuild

    Thanks for the input, I ran it for about 2 or 3 miles cruzin at 55 before I relised I had no pressure. Clearance was on the loose side after the first build, going to take it all to my local machine shop and have them go over it.

    1G Oil pump failure working on rebuild

    Cylinder doesn't look abnormal to me, it's a virgin block so if it comes down to it I will bore and go up a size. It feels smooth, can't put my fingernail into anything.

    1G Oil pump failure working on rebuild

    Had my oil pump fail with in 100 miles of a rebuild. Trying to figure out what is salvageable. Crank is being checked at a shop, I'm concerned with my pistons. The wear is the same on all, and there is no scoring. Dont know if this is normal or abnormal. Read that coating isnt supposed to...

    1G Oil drain size

    Well guys it came down to user error. I didn't tighten the feed line on the side of the 90, just on the 90 where it went to the turbo. Had I left the car running when i seen all the oil on the ground I would have seen that. :ohdamn:

    1G Oil drain size

    Thanks for all the input guys, I think I figured it out. The kit I have advertised -10 an, I pulled it all off an measured it, its only 1/2 inch inside diamater. I seen a post where a guy drilled out his oil pan and made a adapter that bolted in the factory location that moved his line size up...

    1G Oil drain size

    Also with the oil pan full should oil be coming back out the drain?

    1G Oil drain size

    So I got my car together today. For the oil drain I bought a kit, and cut the mitsubishi steel line near the oil pan and had to really stretch the hose hard to get it on there. Car ran for 30 seconds oil dumped out the compressor and exaust on the turbo. I'm thinking the drain is way to small...

    Evil hose clamps

    I love extremepsi too, they listed those as the clamps that go with it and they work just hard to get on

    Evil hose clamps

    I bought these clamps from extreme psi with my new coolant lines. You have to take the nuts off lube up the spots they go and work them on hard, then use channel locks to get them to close enough to get the nut on. They work great just fit hard.

    General Is "Engine Management: Advanced Tuning" a good start?

    All ecus function about the same way. That expensive haltech isn't doing anything extra for your car over top of what ECMLINK does. I run a megasquirt on my 4g63. Theres nothing my megasquirt can't do that ECMLINK or haltech can't do. A better way to look at it would be ECMLINK is more plug...

    1G Eliminate cruise control easy

    You could always put it back if you didn't like it, I didn't cut anything just unbolted and rearranged. What surprised me was how easy it was. I'm not to the driving part on my car yet, still working out how everything is going together. I bought a mighty max ofh and I need to get a alternator...
