when building your own fuel line and filter be sure double sure nothings rubbing after final assembly. using the correct clamps and hose. tripple check it. my line started leaking at the end of the day and i didnt loose that much fuel. thought the clams just werent tight enough but looking closer the clamps werent the problem, well totally. make sure the extra threads arent touching anything or going to touch anything. my excess threads were rubbing the return line but im pretty sure the hose is not damaged just the outer loom is rubbed through.

my leak was coming from the filter itself. i have a silber kit and allthough the filter was not touching anything when i built it, it did rest on my air box after i installed my intake hose. didnt notice oops

you can see the rub mark on the aluminum here. it was pissin out of the rib of the filter. they arent very thick at all

What better place to start a list!
Last ride out I lost a the PTO cyl. Still rode it in the trailer after a few lockups.
So, I've been picking at the repair ever since
Going with
PAR long rod crank
Re nikasil cyls
Rkt pistons
Hopeing for the silber upgrade
- upgrade comes with new injectors I believe they were the problem
-- rebuilt or upgraded turbo
---not sure on controller or ecu
Need arm to fix my AFR senders
Re shim motor mounts
Rebuild shocks

Just some usual routine maintainance ya know

 

[joshkoltes]

Got the mono block back from us chrome, re polished the ex ports, the par long rod in the cases, the rkt drop in pistons in, and the par head torqued down. Still waitin on payday for more parts

Dang man this sled has some bad karma with it! Need to go help an old lady across the street with it. That tunnel is sick looking tho. how many miles were on it when you lost a cylinder?

 

[joshkoltes]

Right at 1600 I believe.
Should be a fresh start this time
Was makeing some good headway today till I shot myself in the eye with brake cleaner

 

[LoudHandle]

That will leave a mark. Been there done that! Of course they don't think I'm human at work because I don't let little things like that slow me down much. Recover and get it built dude!

 

[joshkoltes]

Just waitin on parts

Not the first time you've taken a shot of fluid to the eye
and wont be the last huh Josh!!

Finished copeing pipe into my pipe to get a bit better flow. I have learned how much tig welding sux during the process

 

[LoudHandle]

The secret to any welding is the fit up! Take your time there and the welding is easy. Needs to be clean also before striking the first arc. IMO TIG welding is the only way to go.

Sorry it fought you, you likely skimped on the prep. That will bite you every time. Better luck next time, hang in there.

This is the start of my headlight alteration

The plan is to turn the right side into an air box and I have a 55 w light to go in the other side

 

[joshkoltes]

Well looky what showed up today!

Good bye oil lines!

 

[Wheel House Motorsports]

[diamonddave]

Nice build....Is that the oiless??

 

[joshkoltes]

Yes Dave, they are in stock! Order away!

 

[joshkoltes]

Got it apart and indexed.



My pipe cope job created more work. It warped so I re milled the mate face but that turned out kind of crooked so the bottom mount base is quite a bit off and since the flange was now thinner I had to cut a quarter inch off all the bolts so they didn't bottom in the housing holes
