I had an oil fire in my old Lancer when the supply to the Turbo burst and dumped oil onto the T04, Luckily I had an extinguisher onboard and saved it before any damage was done.
CK: I'd missed the pics on page 2 DOH!
She's pretty :)
Good news on 1 year free <fingers crossed for many more>
The scar is nothing (I'm covered in em from my accident and I'm still cute ;) )(not)
The other downside to NO is when it's off it might siphon and drain the water tank.
It depends on what size solenoid you run if you need a relay or not, I always run them as it removes the load from the switch and wiring.
I'd be a little concerned that after the "pressure issue" using 10/40 might not fill the now increased clearances :(.
This will be ok for the first 1000 then as the oil breaks down you might notice the knock again and so starts the vicious cycle of knock/more clearance/more knock and so on...
Higher pressure with lower viscosity is counter intuitive.
I'd be thinking that your filter was blocked and was bypassing crap into the bearings if this happened to me NOT that 20/50 is too thick to get into the tight clearances and if you're using a non bypass filter it would show up as very...
The TRSM also lists the head bolt torque as 58 ft/lbs.
I'd rather overfill by 1 Qt and NOT lose an engine to rod knock.
I lost one early on rebuilt it and did 100,000 KM's without an issue running it this way.
You might want to take a pan and fill it with water and see how much it takes to get anywhere near the crank before stating absolutes on this subject.
I'm trying very hard NOT to be a cock here MTT.
