stealth det at delta rpm ftw

chip · 03-07-2009, 02:47

Done much other damage?

jonlem · 03-07-2009, 02:52

Oh dear, when the one went on Martins (which I posted yesterday on vauxsport) he got away with just fitting a pump, that was cruisng at 30mph though, lucky imo

I hope thats the only damage

DaveB · 03-07-2009, 07:11

Nic was doing 150+ when it happened I think.

Thought someone had filled your engine with stones though nic, hardly surprising the oil pump gave up if thats the case.

corsakid · 03-07-2009, 07:25

Nasty, hope its ok for when i come up, i want a ride

Eck · 03-07-2009, 13:55

150 is pub talk mph.

Barnes · 03-07-2009, 13:56

it may have been 160 ish

steveboyslim · 03-07-2009, 18:12

Was that a new genuine pump ?
Are ther signs of any forign material entering the pump ?
Forget what speed you were doing, what revs were you pulling ?
What sort of fit was the inner gear to crank, had it fretted ?

Barnes · 03-07-2009, 18:14

CorsaTurbo2008 · 03-07-2009, 19:38

he had someone put stones and gravel into his engine, not a nice thing.

philip2 · 03-07-2009, 19:59

would it of been ok with the steel SBD gear maybe?

ive heard the castings on the new pumps arent bad, but the gears were ****e. guess you've proven that now.

hope that you shut it off quick and not caused any further damage

read above, sumone put gravel into his engine which blocked the pickup causing oilpump too fail, this is most proberly the reason for the above too happen, doubt it was cause didnt have steel geats ect.

explain wat happened then properly, otherwise people will think it was 100% oil pumps fault.

philip2 · 03-07-2009, 20:53

how would someone manage to get gravel into the engine and it even last that long at the speeds nic got up to?

if true, then thats a ****. but with the load on the gear from the crank, maybe if had a steel gear it would of lasted.

MattJ · 03-07-2009, 21:09

oil pump failed. there are no marks on it to suggest anything went through it. also it has not heat marks on it as if it ran out of oil. it just failed. and thats that.
