Hey all,
Starting a new thread here... I'd like to get some advice please. Here's the scoop: New motor. 9:1 2056 w/ceramic coated euro race headers. Stock D-jet and stock ignition. Running on Brad Penn break-in oil. Two shake down drives for break-in (varying rpm and load, staying out of WOT and mostly below 4k rpm), and they both have the same basic symptoms. The oil temps get too high and idle turns to cr*p. Drive one: 75 degree ambient, 40 minutes driving. head temps vary between 250-275, never higher than 300. Oil temps climbed to 230, and once hot won't idle worth a damn. - backed off ignition advance to stock, was running at 30 degrees. Capped vacuum retard hose, seemed to idle better without. (mistake?) Drive two: 85 degree ambient, 25 minutes driving. Head temps vary between 250-300, never higher. Oil temp went to 250. Hot idle just plain sucked. I know I need to get a wideband on there to figure out what the mixture is doing, but if the mixture was going lean, I'd expect to see excessive head temps right? Can the oil temp simply be a tight motor on light oil? It doesn't seem right though. Help? Advice? Suggestions? Last thing I want to do is lunch this motor. -Josh2 |

Okay, now I'm sweatin' bullets.
These were the numbers provided to me the friend who was building the motor. If you can give me ball park numbers what you think they SHOULD be, I will confirm that these were the actual numbers taken. Car is on hold until then. Have I already wasted it?
