now starting engine rebuild on my 3r
Discussion
I have a full jag engine and I still stuck with the ford heads as they flow more than enough and mine revs to 8000rpm and has 700bhp with a massive power band with loads more to go, so didn't need any extra help from VVT 
BTW the water runs different route through the jag engine so you would need a revamp of the water system to run jag heads.

It sounds like a man with big hammer inside my engine
I change the oil and filter using a ford filter and shell helix
Then two laps at snetterton behind the safety car and then it was time to go home u
Not even a flick of a oil pressure light probably will install a pressure gauge at same time

it was full of oil and when i drained it out it was clear apart for the lumps shell bearing
yes it its a bit or a worry why it failed so soon, are low mileage car good as they sit round
and are not used and things get stuck and old and then when used fall apart
had the car for 18 months but have not used it had resolve others issuse it had

They don't fail at low mileage for no reason, I've seen this several times the past couple of years at a couple of track days when the oil level has shown still at or slightly above minimum. if you let the engine oil level run low even with the track sump, you will loose flow to the bearings in high speed corners. It must be kept at the top half of stick or as close to MAX as possible.
It happened to me at the Nurburgring. Never let it go below half way since and raced it dozen times and no problems.
Get the bottom end rebuilt by Jetstream and be on your way again.

The problem is actually the slower tight right hand corners especially if directly after a tight left hander. I will soon have a solution to the track sump problems It happened to me at the Nurburgring. Never let it go below half way since and raced it dozen times and no problems.

Hi Kevin,
Dry sump next year then? Hope you had a great Xmas and see you up at Combe at the GWS?

Very busy with family but good thanks & hope yours has been great, hopefully get to catch up at Coombe.
Wish it was dry sump but too many issues to resolve alone, can be done but the development time & cost have made it unviable so have redesigned the existing.
Happy Newyear
Cheers
Kevin
