Yep...ferrous material from the clutch packs. The problem is the magnets don't attract non-ferrous particles and the screen is not fine enough to catch them. For this exact reason, I run a filter on the output line to the cooler...a Trasko by-pass filter, but any quality full flow filter will...

Short answer...yes ;) Like I said, below 176 deg F the ECU will go to warm-up enrichment...you will run rich. Above 210 deg F, the ECU retards timing in an effort to prevent detonation. You are showing big temp swings...that is not what you usually see. OAT will only affect this to the...

Hmmm...coolant thermostat? TSRM Thermostat The way your temps drop at speed is leading me to believe either you don't have one installed or it's stuck open.

One part I've seen break on the A340E are the sprags...generally on high HP motors. Not a lot you can do other than have them cyro treated. Had my input and output shafts cyro treated too. Stock type clutches will graze under high HP/torque, causing the tranny to slip.

Free is good ;) Your oil pressure is not excessive...in fact, it's quite good for a stock system. The reason I asked about the filter is to make sure you were not running a crappy one and it causing a problem...A K&N is a decent filter though. If you shim an oil pump 5mm, you can expect...

Is the above figures hot or cold? And (once again) what pressure are you showing at idle and what oil filter are you using? If you want me to help you, please don't make me drag info out of you...I also speak in psi, not Bar. The pressure increase from shimming the pump depends on if the...

Is there a thermostat installed? If so, what temp?

Could be timing...what do you have yours set at? What temp thermostat are you running? Another thing to check is the fan clutch...especially if the temps at highway speed drop to what you're used to seeing. BTW - the stock ECU looks for 176-210 degs as normal ops temps. Below 176, you...

When you say "quite a bit", exactly how much pressure (in psi) did you have before and after at idle and 3000 rpm? And what weight oil and brand filter are you using? You can have too much pressure on a 7M, but it's hard to achieve. Generally, shimming the pump 5mm on a stock system is safe.

Give up Gordon...not gonna bite ;)

Don't have to...true to form, you're doing a fine job all on your own. BTW - concerning oil...98% of us don't run drag motors ;)

Well, you could degree your cams and get them "dead nuts on" by adjusting your gears...it will be more difficult to do with the engine in the car. BTW - your were smart to take Forced up on his offer ;)

1st of all Gordon, I'm not a punk kid..not even close. ;) 2nd, The hole I'm talking about is in the saddle...the hole you show is under the cam seal. 3rd, I never said anything about blowing a seal...you did. What I did say is there is oil under pressure behind the cam seals (and there...

Got news for ya...that "hole" in the front cam saddle is the pressure feed for the cam flowing to the rest of the journals aft through the center of the cam :3d_frown: 7M Oil System Diagram And there are no bearings for any of the cam journals. STFU unless you know what you're talking...

Yep...you're wrong. The cam oil seals are behind the plate...the cams are fed oil under pressure through the 1st journal aft of the gear mounts. Oil attracts dirt...not to mention the random drops of oil from the seals going forward under deceleration and hitting the timing belt/gears. Plus...

Wow! I guess all the custom made FFIM's (Ron's, Seth's, IJ's, etc) are going to blow at any moment :runaway: I'm calling :bsflag:

Are you sure you're a MA enginnering student? Think about what that plate does over the long term and what is under it and what runs across it. It's just not that hard to put one on...especially a free one.

Hmmm...I would not run the motor without that plate.

Geezer - Red Line carries a line of motorcycle oils, both in a 10W-40 and 20W-50...API SJ, SG, & SH. My son is running the 10W-40 in his Yahama R6, with a Wix filter...The 600cc motor on this bike redlines at 15K rpm ;) Red Line Motorcycle Oils These are ester based, Grp V oils with...

Yeah...Del Rio is out in the sticks (I was stationed at Laughlin many years ago). Why don't you check over in San Antonio? Or, you could PM Suprarich and see what he'll do it for you...he knows what he doing on a 7M ;)
