Cracked rear plate- external lubrication?
Recently cracked my rear plate. Thinking of going with external lubrication and still running the cracked plate. Anyone have experience with this? This is a street car.

23psi without water/methanol? i can already tell you what broke the iron, knock suppression of pump fuel..
you can plug the dowel passage with core plugs and run external oiling from a sandwich plate to the front housing, but the rear iron will need to be removed regardless. there is no way to block the passage with the motor completely assembled, at that point it's easier to just replace the iron and install studs and forget about external oiling.

Tre was a/I running 100% washer fluid. From what I hear the passages are sealed and then the oil runs through the hoses. Kinda hard to explain. I was injecting Pre turbo

I've also already addressed the fuel issue. Twin 044's, twin 10an lines from the fuel cell to twin aero motive 100 micron filters. Then a y out of the pumps to 8 an up front.
