To find the oil (710) level for your car, let the engine be on the engine stand, up right, fill it up to max, install your engine in the car and measure oil again and mark your oil stick with this level and next time you will know this is the correct level. Love your channel, have been following you since the absolute rad Smart car at Faster Proms.
I don’t remember seeing this being done. Seen Kyle do it twice now and both tunes he said how important it is. Only just started watching the video so I’m not sure if he spotted it or not
@@JayGee6996 The hole has a kind of oil feed limiter which you need to remove in order to PLUG the hole. Looking at this video, i can see a bolt plugging the hole, it is however "wet" around the edges. I'd weld that hard shut
If the pin snaps wounded the valves smack the pistons. Just thinking that the engine wouldn’t be spinning that long with no oil pressure because of it being an interference engine. Not sure if you keep using the same oil pump but it could be a sticking oil relief valve.
Well damn, I was totally wrong about the thrust bearing deal! My calibrated eyeball absolutely missed that. I thought it looked more like .050" than .005" end play in that last video... Will you be datalogging oil pressure to ensure that your oil pan/oil level is working for you in different conditions?
i would ask myself what would cause the pin to shear and work from there to find the root cause. of course there's nothing to say the bearings were simply worn from age/neglect. after all it cost $400... and i would pull the pan on the to-be-installed engine and have a look at the bearings on it too.
@@baysidefabrication I would have never guessed. Good job brother. The work you do is incredible man I wish I had a quarter of your skills. You just do everything well you're one of those people. Thanks for posting!!!

That’s exactly what I’m going to do. Thanks for your support
Sorry about the blown engine! You made the right call using the old one for testing first. Can't wait to see this ripping around Florida :)
Did you plug the oil passage you needed to when you changed from the different style oil pump to the higher RPM oil pump?

Does the hole get plugged or unplugged? I can’t recall which way

You will still need to fix the clutch to normal operating position, making sure you are not screwing up the new/used Japan engine.
Absolutely

That whirring could have been the throwout bearing running on the pressure plate fingers since you said it had zero travel to release.
And I thought oil pump problems was just a BMW thing, LOL. But in all seriousness, it's good thing you're working out this stuff on a test motor.
You’re telling me. I would be in a ball crying if it was the hot rod setup. Or way worse if it was the flat six

Oh yeah. Im pretty confident we can kick some ass with the next motor.
$100 cordless lapel mic. will make your videos 100X better. the noise from everytime you move the camera is driving me crazy. "Friendly advice."
Yeah me too. Go pro blows
Send the old motor to JBR to get sleeved

Sorry about the set back man.
these things happen
You fixed the Flag!
Squeaky wheels get the grease 😘
Great content thanks for sharing
I still think the thrust had something to do with it. You haven't shown us those yet but I still think it is
I just did!! I measured it and everything. Watch the video
