hi, well after only 200 miles, 30 of which were on a stage rally this is the state of my new engine, it was bored 0.5 oversize and had new je racing forged pistons, was run in on a rolling road and then mapped(running itb's and toda vtec killers)
when i picked it up from the rolling road, he said it had been mint and was ready to go, so did two rally's but retired with water in electrics and gbox trouble. only took the engine apart as it started to smoke on idle, but when we went onto the next stage it was fine under load, no smoke, so thought it was valve stem seals
it has never been hot or overheated, runs half size alloy rad and an oil cooler
what do you guys think has happened ?
cheers
