Nialls supercharged GTi6 - project tidy up

[Niall]

just a though, could it be the oil over heating? obiously as the oil gets warmer it loses its viscosity, and can cause burning of shells and picking up on the crank, just a thought

He had loose main bearing caps, reducing pressure to the rod ends. Just hasn't admitted it on his blog yet

You have a sixth sense or something?

Seems that way! lol
Yeah pretty much what Martin said. The main bearing supplies oil to the big end bearing. In my case, one of the bolts wasn't torqued up properly meaning oil pressure wasn't building up in the main bearing journal and thus, not being moved on to the big end.
Couple that with heavily diluted oil with petrol from a massively over fuelling ecu map and getting the engine red hot on the dyno and here we are today!
