Shit I'm on my 3rd build. It gets old, I don't even "race".
Yup my melli g oil pump gave it up two days ago at 45mph... Oil pressure dropped to 10psi, and before I could hit the key, she went bang bang bang rattle rattle... Rule of thumb... Blueprint even new pumps! So I'm pulling g motor today... Number 3, but this is my first "built" motor to ever give it up... She ran soooo good to!!!

Ya mine was just a stand pressure and volume pump, hell we always put melling pumps in our street rods and hotrods we built growing up, but guess they lost quality somewhere.

Add another LB7 crank to the list... I believe the immediate loss of oil pressure was due to this, this maybe a dumb question, but is it OK to drop another lb7 crankbin without rebalancing the rods with that crank. Or is each piece just zeroed out from factory? uploadfromtaptalk1443922315747.jpg

It scares me to know I'm running around with enough to kill a piston in my lbz and now I have to worry about the crank. Might as well be scared for the whole bottom end at this point

Sure seems that way! Hell at this level, we are just on borrowed time. This would be my first broken one. It sure is fun when she goes fast tho!!

Not even sure where I'm at on hp, but she did t skip a beat hooked to sleds four times and numerous interstate wot. It was just driving easy and boom. I'm going with af empire and ati dampner, as well as all rebalanced and align bored to hopefully try and increase longevity of this next one. That post about a sponsorship sounds good right about now! Lol. Heck what's another 3500 in a 10k motor lol good thing I have 3sitting around.
