        Or add a little Sea Foam to your cars diet. Remove carbon twice as fast :)

            Lemme ask you... if I spun a bearing, is this something that could leave me stranded with a seized engine at some point?
            Chapel I blew little time ago the #1 Rod bearing, it was making a horriblw sound when I was pushing at the limits my engine with a turbo on it..

            Then I drove the car in "light" mode up to my house (this happened when i was in the ilegal street races) and in the next morning up to my shopp... took out the oil pan, and checked all the bearing, the number one went to hell.

            I checked the journal of the crank and showed very goo, very soft, with out scratches or so... I polished with a light polsih paper all the journals for better and smoot fucntion..

            Then replaced the rod bearings and and crank bearings, all that with out taking my block out of the car....and that took us about 1 day of fully labor.

            Last week I added MotorKote, a impressive aditive (kind of) without solids like the others that prevent the frcition, I can confim that this product rocks!! and works!! I tested it in a little machine and never stopped the metal wheel like when ita was wet only in oil.

            In that way my rod bearing and crank bearing will be more safe than ever like all the rest!

                  that thing shoulda been an e30 legend.... m50, 5-lug, coilorvers(?), BBK, stripped out interior.... whole crapload of stuff. never got the pleasure of seeing it in person before she passed on, despite it being in my area

                        Smartass, let me rephrase.

                        What were the actions that led up to the car sitting on its roof.

                          At least Pete is a "smart" ass rather than the alternative........

                          that thing shoulda been an e30 legend.... m50, 5-lug, coilorvers(?), BBK, stripped out interior....
                          was this a former member of the late E3S? before my time?
                          from what I can see, I like: swap, smoked tails, 325is.......

                              hah! you're right... i'd MUCH rather be a smartass than a dumbass :up:

                              i don't THINK he was on e3s. i know he's on DTM New England.

                              as to the nature of the rollover... i dunno, he hasn't given out any details, but i'll go ahead & guess it happened at either Watkins Glen or Lime Rock Park, since the car was a track rat & i think the race seasons have kicked off at both of em by now. other than that i won't make any other guesses as to how it happened

                                He was on E3S, his name was lose2abmw. He was one arrogant prick, I remember that.
