We have Carl's oil fed thrust conversion fitted. We think a badly setup double grey is to blame. We're yet to pull the engine and see exactly what the cause and effect is... is that what the problem was? fuel pressure ok now? Yes i moved to the darkside |

Yep wasn't the fuel at all. It was the thrusts and me being too drunk to realise. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I was given a complete turbo engine if you recall I was going to sell it on here for £300. when I took it apart for inspection the fool that rebuilt it forgot to fit the thrusts! you can imagine the carnage that was done.

So a 2mm hole straight through to the oil gallery and 2 holes tapped for brass fixings. Where might one get such fixings ?

Sounds about right Arge. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

should it not be done on both sides? I would think so as the oil pressure would push the crank towards the back of the engine when the clutch is not in use otherwise? |

Andre, there no way the pressure from such a small hole would ever force the crank in the other direction,

0.32lb of force, which assumes the 2mm dia hole is perfectly sealed against the thrust washer, which of course it is not.

Bit of a thread revival, but is this worth doing when using an RTS clutch set up?
