OHhhhhhh bad news.

So I took out the injectors. Rear primary injector was barely firing. So I bought a new gasket and got some new injectors. This morning, I out everything back in. Fired it up.

Still ran like shit. It was idling fine, and revved free, but just sounded bad.

I noticed when I fired it up, the oil pressure seemed lower than normal (45-50psi compared to normally it pushed 75-80psi). Not good.

So I let it warm up. Came back 10 minutes later, checked the pressure gauge, barely registering 5psi. Revved it, went to just below 25psi and dropped to maybe 10psi while the RPM's were up. Pretty sure it spun a bearing.

Oh well. Time to figure out whether to part it out, or sell it as a whole. It does run, and can be driven......if you were a brave soul.

Oh well, I guess its the RX-8 to DGRR after all.
