    Did you post what the clearance was?
  2. blkaplan
    I talked to a couple other people about it, their response was that they thought the piston was loose in the bore ( bore was oversized for the piston) allowing it rock excessively which led to the fatigue failure.
  3. blkaplan
    How did you calculate this?
  4. blkaplan
    Those are the only things I can really think of as well. It either was contacting something.... unlikely if there weren't marks found anywhere... or perhaps the clearances were off and it was allowing the piston to rock in the bore. Or..... the skirts of the pistons were too short for the rod length and stroke and it was side loading the piston excessively. With the longer rod it tends to reduce the side loading but the skirts on these are shorter from what i know.

    I'm sure Wiseco can tell you exactly why the pistons failed, as the manufacturer and designer, I am sure they have seen all types of failures and understand why the pistons would see a failure in the method that they have. Sorry to see this Hussein,

    Would about right behind the rear right tire. next to the fender.
  7. blkaplan
    Yea with all the weight you have up front with that thing I would definitely want the battery in the trunk. If the battery is gone you could easily use that space to build a nice shroud around the fliter.

    you might want to try to reroute that filter to the inner fender area. Seems like you are out of room in the engine bay and that filter looks pretty crowded.

    What kind of oil temps are you seeing?
  10. blkaplan
    did i call it or what?

    Just keep it together, I was hoping to actually see this thing this year. ;-)

    Looking much more professional with the AN swivel fittings over the copper elbows. How much power should the 2200 kg/h meter correctly?

    I chose company colors when it was founded in 2006. Never driven a 10 Valve, but been driving 8v's as long as i could reach the pedals.
  14. blkaplan
    Confused how both of these are in the same thread.
  15. blkaplan
    that's my color. love it!

    Thats pretty cool, I'm sure the ethernet is as fast as the onboard memory in my fanuc 10m
  17. blkaplan
    Does the ethernet system have onboard memory for storage or is it all "drip fed" ?
  18. blkaplan
    Excellent! That ethernet system looks cool. Hows the speed on it for doing surfacing work with small movements? Did you get it to talk to the lube pumps, coolant pumps, and tool changer?

    People typically measure their oil for copper particulates because engine bearings have copper in them and if your bearings are wearing you will have traces of copper in your oil. It's a way to check engine health with out a tear down.
  20. blkaplan
    Why would copper be doing anything to the oil? AFR's are looking good, fuel pressure still looks a little funny.
  21. blkaplan
    well there's not much consequence if you start getting cracks or leaks in the breather system. An oil line is a different story.

    Exactly, its not gonna be one of those things that will fail in the 1st thousand miles, it will fail in a year or two when you're not expecting it.
  24. blkaplan
    Your house isn't subject to the vibrations and wide range thermal conditions that an engine experiences. Copper tubing is great for residential plumbing, unless you live around lightening... then its strongly discouraged.
  25. blkaplan
    that's a different story all together.
