- Supercharged VF SSV
Hi all,
I've recently purchased a walkinshaw supercharged VF SSV redline ute. Really happy with the car however there is some bad news....
Took the car out for a run yesterday and on the way home gave it a bit of a long pull. Next thing I know, smoke spewing out the back (luckily I was close to home) got it home and there's oil everywhere underneath it.
Looks like a suspected hole in the piston and pushed the oil out the rear main . Either that or a line has come off (can't see anything obvious) and the tapping is because of low oil.
Haven't had time to properly investigate but just wondering if any others have experienced this? The previous owner had replaced the engine as well which makes me think there may be something going on with the fuel system to lean it out like that?
Just thought with a Walkinshaw kit it would be tuned fairly safe and would not have these kind of catastrophic failures?
Anyway, like to know what everyone thinks on this, and if anyone knows of a good LS guy in Adelaide....
THanks
