at this point I do not exactly know why.
All I know is the oil pressure light came up while I was on the track then I went back in the pit. I do not have a definative answer why the light came up.
With the datalog from my AIM logger the oil pressure didnt show much of any low pressure problem.
the oem oil pressure sensor seem like to be an on/off type of sensor and I do not know much more about this.
What I can be sure is with the setup I have and pulling 1.3g/1.4g without any oil baffle, remember I also got a tank slapper on the track pavement. Oil starvation is probably the main cause.
The session after didnt last long that I had to get back in the pit.
but to answer what got broken first ?
I havent finished inspecting the engine ...
but we have these right now
