Blocked oil jets - Camel - 12-07-2014

This is the incoming side of one of the little jets that squirt oil under the pistons of the Gen II.

A main bearing in a Busa powered buggy let go and distributed these fines all through engine. Absolutely everywhere. Managed to save the crank but it's a cert that I'll have to do the grub screw mod to make sure there's no more fines inside the cranks galleries.

Lucky catch Camel... Looks like it would be mere minutes before things were a lot worse??

Yeah, if not seconds...
Traced the problem back to an aftermarket oil pressure relief valve, the spring had sacked out and resulted in massive bypass.
