anyone point to thread listing causes of engine failure
A couple of years ago a thread ran on scoobynet which listed circumstances under which big end failure happened.
I was wondering what other measures could be taken to avoid engine damage. I was thinking of the oil cooler modification or possibly an upgraded oilpump.
I am not going to fit a knocklink which may appear unwise - however as this monitors det it does nothing to stop it happening.
I am running optimax and booster. I use a turbo timer. I do not use full boost until temp guage reads 95 degrees.
I dont bring the car up to top end speed. I prefer to bring it around the back roads so speed never tops 100.
Did Graham Goode offer a modification which offered a solution.
