yup I had the rpm limit to 8050rpm
why ? because I would lose time if I was just shifting to the next gear jut to downshift 2 sec later...
I was pretty much only using the 8000limit during those time .
And nobody lost an engine before this . many others on the forum raised their RPM. It was not something new..
Why I got oil starvation ?
99% chance is from the big spin off on track doing a *tank slapper* then doing a 360.
because everything when started from there
I went back into the pit, everything seemed fine and I went back on the track just to leave it 1-2 laps after with a 280F+ and clicking noise in the head
at first it wasn't too bad I went back home then 200kms later the engine broke down and oil pump exploded due to the garbage broken parts from the VVEL (discovered during the engine inspection)
also there was the exhaust gear cam bolt that was relatively quite loose on the same side, I remember I could have un-tighten it by hand mostly... (10-15ft/pds max!!)
so yeah I made a custom inside baffle and added an Accusump !!
Accusump is a must !!!! well, a minimum I recommend now.
