[kronus]

hopefully it'll be alive at some point this summer.

Mines technically been down since ~February '13, but it still ran. It would go maybe 5 miles before overheating due to the cracked head. Luckily the local gtg was only about 3 so I would smash to get there as fast as possible. The car would leave a nice mess under the car then I would drive home and park it for another week or two before driving it again. It was supposed to be done in October, but its been one thing after another.

[Cabriolet]

[mbonanni]

I drive mine everyday.

Hey guys, what part of the filter housing drains to the pump? Is it the hole in the center, or around the outside that's wet with oil?

[cgk_iii]

anyone have a complete 'i' head for sale?

My car is going to be so badass as soon as I get my cross-drilled brake lines.

Can't afford their oil bypass kit yet.

[e30vert]

V - Oil is forced to the outside of the oil filter and then passes through the filter media towards the center.


I think there is also a valve after the oil pump that only allows oil to pass once it reaches a specific pressure. Dont quote me on that , but if there is a valve of this nature (which many engines have) then it makes sense to check / replace that valve as well. I may never be opening.

Can someone validate this?
