R Spicy 1 Build coming soon.......

[Cleverfrog]

Well, the radiator is in and the cold pipe has been re-routed, added the CR3 Radiator brackets. Now to add the AWR Rear Sway (thanks Phen) and have the Hoosiers mounted Saturday on the freshly painted RPF-1's ( thanks Evan) and get her ready for Sunday @ Toledo...will be fun......

Fixed

I stand corrected, sir!

Perhaps some new lug studs are in order as well? Along with open ended lugs of course. Have you had any problems with broken/stripped studs with all the wheel changing Spicy does?

ARP 100-7708

I'll probably get a set for the added insurance since I'm running spacers.

Nevermind, I forgot CR3 can get us them. Same part number though, but Summit has them on back order anyway. (Thanks for the heads up, JT (2thumbs))

Nope, not yet, but it has crossed my mind to make thst change, my new Powerslot Rotors (rear) have been shipped.......and the new XR-3's have been made and shipped too!

Hopefully the motor is nothing too serious and you'll have Spicey back on the road again. If there is anything you need just let me know. Still had a great time even though the PS crapage.

Do you have the OE head bolts or do you have ARP studs?

arp

 

[Cleverfrog]

arp

weird then. Now Im even more curious why that happened

Well like Corey said, if the oil pump failed then wouldn't that starve the crank bearings?

Yes, it would

Im just glad I didn't break anything because that would be a hefty 150 mile tow for me

That's why we have AAA Premium for just emergency.

I have free towing on my insurance, but i think they will only cover towing to the nearest garage. Ill have to double check

15 mile to wherever needed on mine. Used it last year.

Yes, it would

Yeah, but you'd have bigger problems before the crank bearings were damaged. All the oil falls from the top down. Wouldn't the cylinder walls would go dry before the bearings?

Mine didn't. I had no problems in the upper rotation when my rod and main bearing went out.
