    Help! B16a Big End / Rod Bearing Failure

    Unfortunately my salary won't allow a dry sump system ha. I don't like the idea of the oil pump having extra work pumping more oil around to a cooler! I have a full size alloy rad so hopefully that will keep it cool enough

    Help! B16a Big End / Rod Bearing Failure

    When I'm up and running again with oil pressure and temp gauges fitted, I think I'll monitor them and make the call on an oil cooler then if needed. Thanks for the help men!!

    Help! B16a Big End / Rod Bearing Failure

    Oil cooler is definitely something to look into.. I had different oil pumps on each engine (both honda). I'll check the old pump although its probably full of bearings filings by now. I had the head cleaned thoroughly. I'll rebuild it to the best standard possible and add oil pressure, oil temp...

    Help! B16a Big End / Rod Bearing Failure

    Ya the baffle is good and oil level is always at the top mark one the dipstick. Just using good brand 10w 40 so maybe a better grade oil for race engines would be no harm! Is it unheard of to modify the sump to carry a larger capacity of oil in the engine?

    Help! B16a Big End / Rod Bearing Failure

    It's looking that way alright. I'm using a standard b16a sump and a weld in baffle plate. My first engine didn't have the baffle so i put it down to that but the new engine did and still happened! Pretty frustrating

    DC2 Track Build - B16

    It's been awhile since I've had time to do much with the car! Got all the suspension and brakes assembled. Just waiting on brake lines and it will be rolling and stopping. I have run into an issue connecting the rear arb. Seems to be because the suspension is set too low but that's where I want...
