I'll be there on Sunday, I would go on Saturday but I have to work. I don't think I could handle two whole days of trendy bogans anyway.

What are normal oil temps in 4AGEs (or any engine really)?

 

I wired up my oil temp and oil pressure gauges yesterday: the oil temp seems to sit between 100˚C and 110˚C while driving, the oil pressure is about 10PSI at idle (I suspect the gauge has a shitty earth, the needle is pretty erratic) and the water temp is pretty much fixed on 88˚C.

Is it true that full rebuild kits for SC12's are non-existent?

From memory, you can buy some of the bearings, but others you will have to machine the casing to accept a slightly larger bearing.

 

If you decide to try, be careful not to crack the housing when pressing the old ones out (I ʞ©$ɟed an SC14 that way)

Yeah I'm just gonna buy another one.

Sorted out the earth on the oil pressure gauge, it now sits at about 30PSI at idle when hot, but it doesn't get over 65PSI no matter the revs, must be because of the pressure operated sandwich plate for the oil cooler (which is just plumbed straight back into the sump, oil cooler will be going in soon. Hopefully it will keep the oil temps at ~100˚C).

I was JUST looking at oil coolers. I don't know where I could squeeze it in and don't wanna bozo it out the front.

I think with oil temperatures you are looking for trends.

 

If the oil normally sits at 100deg C, then id start to worry if it was 120-130+

 

Similarly for oil pressure, once you figure out the normal pressure, just start to worry if you see anything drastically different.

12am is too late to be at uni.

1am is definitely too late to be at uni.

Bloody spammers. That was hard to stop on a mobile phone :/
