My ek is done (pics now included)

Btw, I forgot to mention how much I`d like to thank Ryan & Ryan for all their hard work on this project. Nothing was "mickey moused" at all. If something didn`t fit, they made a custom bracket. Incredible work. If you need any labor at all, including turbo/sc install, full rebuild, swap, suspension/brakes, etc. e-mail Ryan @ psi420@comcast.net. I highly reccomend them.

Re: My ek is done... (vtecvoodoo)

well, ill be the first to say ITS ABOUT ****** TIME, j/k congrats, man, i know the feeling

edit- so, you think the oil cooler is clogged up?? that cant be good

or do you have an external oil cooler and it is just too much piping for it to run through? did you prime the oil cooler before starting it? air in the lines will cause that too (in a front mount)

I don`t think it was clogged. Maybe it was just too much extra line since it was a front mount.

It was a front mounted B&M oil cooler with remote filter re-location.
We think the stock oil pump was not pushing enough pressure to get the oil from the cooler, back to the engine block.
You can only try and prime so long when there is just assembly lube on your bearings.
We're gonna try a pressure test on it as soon as we get some fittings for the tool.
Until then, stock filter will be just fine.
