Lots of air flowing straight over the top of the oil cooler, or something like that. Need some ducting between it and the rear of the grill.

Oil pressure was within 20-60 psi range. Will drive more and see how the data looks. Have to mention that I am using 5w40 oil and with a rebuilt motor. Also am kinda scared to drive that right now since my stupid retainers that sit on the rocker arm sheered off (And I don't know how!)... Really need to get that retainer kit back in... |

They have been responsive and apologizing for this incident. Edit: Upon further discussion, they would request to wait to share until I pulled the motor out and installed the new pieces. We need to verify if it was installation error or if there's something else weird going on. Will be working with them and post updates Last edited by rixter145; 05-25-2021 at 06:38 PM. |

In the interest of full disclosure, I decided against using the retainers for this reason- if they're real this easy to install, I figured that it could potentially just be something else bouncing around and decided to wait it out. I'm hoping I'm far from right and that this is a freak accident
