Searched forum due to same problem "dipstick blowing oil". This check valve, placed pre-PCV.......fixed the problem. Check Valves - US Plastic Corporation

The fuel pump completely solved the "lean at 15lbs or over boost condition". The car has never performed better! Thanks!!

Builder/tuner left my wastegate solenoid disconnected and I had the same condition. Plugged the solenoid back in........problem solved.

I cheaped out and bought a re-man back in Feb. I'm having "issues" with it now.

I use Water Wetter exclusively in my race bikes, and have for years without issue. It DOES lower operating temps in both high strung multicylinder machines and loping liquid cooled V-twins. Understand that you'll need to do annual cooling system maintenance, and you're good to go.

IMO, if you spend your earned income on something..........you're free to do with it whatever you wish. No amount of naysaying will change that FACT.

Thanks........Dropped it off this morning at a friend's radiator shop this morning for a colonic cleanse.

Awesome thread........... I own one of these rarities.........enjoy!

It's strange, I started her up again last Thursday and she idled and revved in neutral fine........even took it for a short ride and back with no issues.......but I DID notice that the typical loud fuel pump whine that it's had since the rebuild was almost inaudible now.......strange stuff...

I had the car towed the few miles it died from the house yesterday evening. Started it in the driveway and let it idle for 20 minutes.......and it did fine. Not sure now what direction to head. How does one determine for certain that the fuel pump is sketchy?

Follow up on this if you don't mind.....mine has been having same symptoms for the last few days. Then today it left me stranded. I can let it set for a little bit, start it and have great fuel pressure, then watch the pressure slowly drop to zero and dies. I'm GUESSING fuel pump as well.

Black XL.........great idea!

Gotcha. Well, I pledge to follow this thread to a fix and a conclusion.
