Well, I did live in Halifax in between that too, but I left the car in Toronto because that's where the good tracks were within driving distance.</div><div><br></div><div>It's good to have the car here, but I'm dying to start working on it and find out what caused the myriad of problems last time I was at a racetrack with it.</div><div><br></div><div>However, I'm taking Sarah's advice and I'm sending oil for analysis off to Blackstone Labs before I do anything at all.</div><div><br></div><div>Since it's been ages since I've posted - SR20DET, JWT S4 cams - alternator burned out, wouldn't idle or run below 4500 rpms, positive crankcase pressure blew the dipstick out, shot oil all over the hot bits of the turbo, causing a nice smokescreen effect and mild sensation at the lapping day. I'm wondering if the timing chain jumped and probably I need a new HG. I'm hoping the engine doesn't need a complete teardown, but that would give me something interesting to do.</div><div><br></div><div>James</div> </div></body>
