I agree with the valve.
Some thing has to be up rings installed the right way?
I have idled engines for ever getting coolant to burp and I have beat the shit out of them. Never had a ring problem

Well unfortunately Im in between rock and meat-grinder. I can’t take the motor out myself. Cant afford to pay installer again so he’s eating it. Engine builder won’t cover shop time. This is just an all around shit situation and that’s why I want out. If Thursday doesn’t produce results. Its gonna be a long time till it gets resolved as installer can only work on it it spare time. He leaves for vacation on Saturday so the only one getting bent over by this is me. Get bent over by my ex-friend (yes friendship is now gone) who is the installer and now the builder as Im sure they'll do everything to blame me. I just want out of the car. Right now 40k takes the chassis and old motor and Ill pay for transport. I have a clean title.

So what did the installer do that was wrong? Isn't the issue the engine and he didn't build it

If you bring it to me in FL I will pull swap the engine for free to help you out.

Cylinders 2,4,6,8 no longer have pools of oil on them.
#2 still has some cleanup to do but with time…
In 3000 DA made about 21psi of boost and almost shit myself.



the key to this is communication, MMX, Mike and I all got on the same page about motor break in procedures, oil they want me to run and how to maintain the motor.

almost out of the woods. Now the problem is how to get the IC chiller temps colder faster. Might extract one gallon and replace with distilled water and see how fast it gets down. On 94* theres only so much you can do with the stock coolant as it fights

and finally one of the exhaust donuts got dorked on installing, have to fix that

 

[fumanchu182]

Also we cracked open the oil filter and we also ran the break in oil through a filter

for break in oil this is expected.

 

[DavidKFla]

Are they flakes or reflections?

 

[jonx96]

So does my offer still stand with trailer 😉

 

[Unholy707]

Don’t sell the car. Send it man, glad things are looking better. 45 seems good, is that with drag valve on? How long did it take to get them that cool?

 

[Unholy707]

Did you replace the dryer

did you replace the dryer on your condenser?

 

[Unholy707]

What FI does, is they add another dryer, another condenser, and a fan pulling heat out of the condenser . Well? I’m not sure if their fan is a pusher or a puller

 

[Unholy707]

Your car is still pulling timing even with the chiller? Interesting

 

[fumanchu182]

Both this is expected also little pieces of rtv from the front seal as you install the timing cover on a new motor

Old motor and car for sure new motor and car and trailer. Full price buddy.

Drag valve on, too long about five minutes.

less than 5000 miles on them, replaced when I did the transmission

Don’t have an FI kit. This is from ic Chiller.

I mean what do you expect look at the iats, we pulled a vacuum and refilled system. It gets colder faster, but still not fast enough going to start adding distilled water and see how it does.

Yeah, I mentioned FI just because that’s what they do for their “stage 2” kit, but the same theory can be applied to any chiller.

 

[Unholy707]

Will get iats cooler faster as chiller will be more efficient

 

[RGPIII]

With yesterdays humidity and heat that is actually very impressive. 51 degrees below ambient. That system is cooling more than effectively.

 

[Speedy!]

Wait, all this drama and it was just break in????

That’s intercooler temps not IAT. I hate that no one shows IAT

 

[Unholy707]

IAT will only ever be 5-10 degrees below ambient with a chiller

 

[fumanchu182]

IAT will only ever be 5-10 degrees below ambient with a chiller

I always show iats and they were 75 degrees cruising on the highway. Keep in mind the only way the 2.4 gets cooling is passively. Without large volumes of air it will always be hot. When I hit wot they went down to 60.

Wait, all this drama and it was just break in????

Im sorry, ive never broken in a motor it was never explained to me the procedure so excuse me. Also still have other codes to get through but since its drama ill just stop updating the thread.
