I would have expected a failure at this point. I have beat the parts fairly hard. I can only attribute the longevity to, reduced CR. My up pipes are glowing RED, no, BRIGHT red on every pull video. I don't know the drive pressure. I would guess over 130?
One thing I have noticed is that my oil pressure is high. 70-80 at idle(cold).
I see 35-40 on the guage immediately after a pull at idle. Maybe I'm squirting enough oil on the pistons to keep them living. I would assume the oil pressure is high because we built the motor fairly tight on the mains and rods. Other than that the sender could be bad and it will puke tomorrow.
OT, sorry. Since I'm OT, why don't we drive a dry sump pump off the belt and plumb it into the lower galley that supplies oil to the squirters. I hope Todd doesn't read this or he will have it designed by tomorrow.
Cool, good info from ya steve. I'm gonna be a drive pressure tester along with larry if he goes for it. He did order a driver pressure setup if I remember right. I've got a couple of housing and will be ordering another soon for the a5k. I surely can't be running as much fuel as you, but will post mine and larry's results in a thread. Or well larry will probably post his own. But thing is, I'd like to see where the drive pressure goes for sure.
