Hello; Still all good so far. Guess that means you are still driving the car???Probably because ive hit 8495+ rpm quite a few times. I have some logs of this. Obv cant do that on a stock tune.
I lost some of the pieces unfortunately after taking the pictures.
Ive been sending it and it seems fine still. And if I drain my new oil and ceratec im saving it and reusing it after putting a magnet in it. I may not even do that though. Still all good so far.
And IF you drain the "new oil and additive" it will be reused??? Could be a good way to save tens of dollars and get to spend thousands later. At the very least filter the used oil somehow. Here is a thing that seems possible. The metal clips broke up into pieces. If you are extremely lucky they were all big pieces. But if i recall from looking at the images you had a lot of fine metal "hair" on the magnetic drain plug.
As another member suggested do a couple of back to back oil changes with cheap conventional oil with a new filter if you insist on still driving the car.
The tune likely is not the issue. Very likely it's the over 8495 RPM often regardless of the tune.
I am following this thread for the same reason i follow other threads with an interesting technical issue. I am wild guessing after following the thread for a while those extra clips on the rocker arms are too flimsy to live with all the RPMs. Maybe some weakness in the metal. Maybe some resonant vibration at high RPM's. Maybe some other thing. That others have had issues and some actually remove the clips in question is some sort of clue.
Anyway, please keep posting your adventures regardless of the path you take.
