Re: Gotenks64's ongoing build

Build looks good keep up the good work.yes brake boosters can leak,had that problem before.have you tried pressurizing the intake manifold by doing a boost leak test,it will pressurize any vacumn source that doesn't have a check valve and its easier to hear over a running car.

Typically that means the thermostat is stuck closed, can test it in boiling water to see if it opens. If everything else was fine till you put the radiator it could be blocked inside the radiator. There is a blockage at either the thermostat or the radiator if only one hose is hot.thats where I woul...

I'd be interested on coming but I won't be drifting changing my setup from drift to more drag.the track isn't but 6 hours from me but for some that may be to far since its not center located I guess it would matter to who all actually planned to attend.

Have you taken the piston out yet to see what it looks like,I'm thinking the bore may have been to tight for the piston.I had a machine shop bore for a set of wiseco before and the piston fit but the piston to wall clearance was way to tight.

Sorry it's taken me a while to reply with anything, life gets in the way. Anyhow.... Took a couple oil samples, the one on the left is out of my catch can, one on the right is from the oil pan. There aren't many miles on the motor either, so not sure if that has an impact. http://i.imgur.com/eKQ9un...
