Get you a stock rebuilt low milage engine and get your butt back on the track dude! :driving: Then start a penny fund for the next engine. These things just happen. Looks to me like the motor just said "I'm done". That's racing.
Amen bro!!! :tup:

If I posted the 2nd half of the vid you would have heard me say "well, I'm no longer on engine number one." I knew the day would come, was just hoping it was still a while down the road heh.

I'm wondering if the shift a 13:09 contributed to maybe a dropped valve.

No more than any other shift...it was just a normal rev IMO

yea, looked/sounded like an almost mis-shift!

I would suspect the OEM oil pump gears gave up the ghost.

If you are building an engine.. And not going dry sump (which is high recommended) you at least need to have the Nismo oil pump gear set installed.
Also lots of loooong corners...without oil pressure logging... Just a guess but long sustained corners is not good for OEM oil pump.... And again the oem oil pump gears are not really designed for tracking.

Glad you got it back on the track. What happened to the old engine? Where did you get your new engine?
