We have raced our all-trac twice now and had the same result. Both engines, (first a 165, then a 185) started blowing oil out the dipstick and eventually a knock starteded in the engine. The know in the first engine sounded like a rod bearing. The knock in the second engine was undetermined.
So are we pushing these engines too hard? I have a race team and know at least two of them are pushing the rpms at times.
So a few questions beyond your opinions for the above issues.
1. I have two 165 engines that need rebuilding. Are they worth anything?
2. What would it cost to rebuild the 185 engine? IE: If we do the work ourselves.
Can this turbo take race conditions?
