No Oil, VERY BAD :)

A wile back i bought one of thows alum after market oil pedistools for my FD, well there was a big mess up when they where making these in 3 Parts and pressing them together, well my 130psi oil pressure found the weak point.

Well i ran it for about 30secs with no oil, this was when my low oil light came on

I have put about 5000 more miles on the motor before i had to rebuild do to a water seal.

Here is just some pics of the bearings

I will be sending these to Rx7.com to press in new ones.

might be a dumb question, but did you drill those bearings yourself?
