Won't make SCDC?? Why not, if it's running take it to the track! Best place to tune anyway biggrin.gif At least I hope so, I'll be tuning mine there! I've learning tuning seems to be a art (or witchcraft...)

Check the tie rod ends for the "jumping". I had a set once that were loose fit (worn) in the steering arms. Caused some wierd issues with bumps.

Simple lack of interest, I suppose. Not to mention the fact that my clutch is no where near broken in.

How many miles do you have to drive to break in the clutch???

Hell, take it out and tune it! I think I put enough miles on mine screwing with the translator that I could have broken in a new clutch!!

Hell, Spy "clam" comment would be enough to get me pissed off enough to go!!

typically 500 miles is reccomended. I'm tring to put some miles on my clutch also.

Honestly and in all seriousness, I know how it feels goat, I've been there. My advise would be to drive the car up, and either spectate, or just cruise it down the track a couple times for kicks. It does wonders for getting the motivation built back up!

Brought this back to the surface for a little troubleshooting. I mentioned earlier that my oil pressure seemed high on the factory guage, which i understand is unrelaiable. With a good guage installed, what pressure levels are acceptable for a 6-bolt with the BS shafts removed?

I think this heightened pressure may be causing a gasket failure on the oil filter housing.

Mine (w/shaft removed) runs about 20psi at idle and 75 at 3000 rpm. Measured on a Autometer gauge.

I see similar pressures on an autometer guage. However I have seen the pressure spike to 100 at full throttle though it comes right back down around 80.

Ive seen that before.

Drain the oil out of of filter.
Take filter off.
Pull filterhousing apart.

Chances are the big nut that holds the housing together *(underneath the filter) needs tightened down. It came loose years ago, and I had to to that to fix it.
I thought I locktighted it, but maybe I didnt.

Interesting. I'll take a look at that. Would that be something that would require a new o-ring for the housing?

I cant recall how that is sealed together.

If you ever worked on it, it's likely RTV and zippy-ties smile.gif
