I'm not expert but it looked like the crank had its side Webb drilled for balancing. This is rhe weakest point of the crank and its just been made a he'll of a lot weaker. Material should have been taken from the center of the Webb where it doesn't affect strength.

The total cost was about $7k, so if you deduct the parts, then that is what I paid for labour. Hope this helps.

So, the issue can be the switch or the barrel part?
@vdubbed
@vdubbed 5 ай бұрын
Yep, the switch is the electrical part but if thats OK then the barrel has mechanical bits which also causes issues.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this problem? This exact thing happened to me 10 minutes ago and I am at my wit's end. I have not pulled anything apart because after watching your video it's obvious that the problem goes beyond the switch. Any information or link to follow up video would be greatly, greatly appreciated

Sadly - many of these accessories are sold without directions. While nicely done - your plumbing is wrong. The valve/tappet cover / crank case vent are all supposed to go into the oil/air/water separator can - and then the bottom of the can is supposed to have a drain (often valved) back into the case/oil filler. Im pretty sure that on your set up, the top port on the can is for the air/exhaust gas/water vapor filter exit. The top side ports (left and right) are the can inlet ports accepting the left and right crank case / valve/tappet cover venting. (The crank case is vented via the push rod cover tubes into the valve/tappet covers.). The bottom drain back port outlet from the can should be valved and then drains to crank case filler. I do not like to drain into the case without a three ways valve. You can keep the valve close and the watch oil and water accumulation. If it is all just oil, then draining into the case is ok. But its also nice (diagnostically) to watch how quickly oil is accumulating.

Very well done. I learned a lot. I am in US so we call them valve covers, I've never heard them called Tepids. I do have a question about your set up. Could you have just put the little filters right on the valve cover (tepid)? What is the benefit of tieing them together?
@vdubbed
@vdubbed Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the positive feedback AJ. I think tappet covers is a British term. You could put filters on the valve/tappet cover but with the turbo it is pushing a lot of pressure so the filters would get clogged in oil before long (especially near the #3 cylinder). The breathers just need to allow expansion of the pressurised oil mist, so you could have expansion bottles (catch cans) at each breather but I have just run them all to one catch can.

Yes you can, but check the fuel pressure from your pump. If the pump provides too much pressure, it will force your float valve open in the carb and your carb will flood. Easy fix, add a fuel regulator between the pump and the carb and you can control (turn down) the fuel pressure from the pump to stop flooding your carb.

5:27 I have one of those oil crystal filters and Haven´t seen where to put it...I mean, I have a plastic filter for the gasoline but the other one u have there what is it for? where do I install it? I´d appreciate the info bro. I liked your video, by the way, I just bought a Breather kit for my VW even though is not a turbo.
@vdubbed
@vdubbed Жыл бұрын
Well spotted, the glass fuel filter is what I was using previously, you can see the vice grips clamping the old hose to stop fuel running out. The new hose from the carb has the plastic one on, which replaced the glass filter when I hooked up the fuel system.

I'm sure you can use pipe, as you say it will be heavier but as long as it is well attached at strong points, I'm sure it will work.

I was thinking of doing this same thing on the engine I just installed. A 1500 that began it's life as a 1300. I'm seeing a spot of oil from my rear main and a couple other little spots. The seal is new and was professionally installed. I wanted to go the can route instead of the EMPI breather. They're less expensive and appear more functional. Did your vent can alleviate your drips and shaky dipstick?
@vdubbed

Yes it did, you just need somewhere for the pressure to vent
