I did the exact same thing when I removed my power steering line once. The provision on the pump came with it, and the valve + spring came out.

I assembled it backwards and physically destroyed my...

Lookin' good. We love pics, so bonus points for starting out right.

I lied. Of course there is no balance bar. I'm an idiot.

We had the S13 running 414 RWHP on the Walbro 255 lb/hr HP fuel pump with E85 running 3-bar fuel pressure and 22 psi. It was using Nismo 750cc injectors I believe. We switched to gasoline and water...

Okay, here are the pictures I promised. Sorry for taking so long.

From the first E-85 thread in The Manifesto:



The first sentence about running lean is of particular relevance.



I can confirm this is the correct way to do it. You're on the right page. Howeve...

I haven't personally ruled out that possibility entirely just yet, and if that's the way it works it really changes things. Making dedicate oil squirters a much more impressive upgrade.

Here is an image of a Mitsubishi 3000GT/Dodge Stealth connecting rod with oil squirter. A piece of broom straw in the oil squirter on the left rod shows the direction of spray. Without knowing how ...

I've found some bamboo skewers that worked well for pics. I'll post a bunch this weekend. It looks as if the squirter is aimed to hit the bottom of the piston during at least 90% of the rotation.

Yes, thank you Kyle. That's a great pic.
The 3000GT rod seems to have a 30 degree angle for the squirter. I'm estimating our angle is more like 10 degrees from vertical (angled a little so it ...

Thanks ebinkerd, I should have seen that.
Interestingly enough, it's also squirting on the intake side wich is more prone to detonation damage.


If the job of this squirter is to lubricate the cyl...

Fixed. ;)

This a connecting rod from an Isuzu engine with an arrow pointing to the piston oil squirter (ignore the red circle). Our rods are almost identical to this rod in that respect. I'll have real pics...

Missing block-to-bellhousing dowel pins was my first guess.


Top dowel pin can be seen in this picture at the top holding the spacer plate on. It is above and to the left of the starter access hol...

That looks like textbook prolonged minor detonation damage to me. I have a piston in my hand right now with the same exact damage, and it was prolonged minor detonation that did it.
