Default update on turboprelude

hi all happy new year, long time no chat.

anyways last problem i had was a oil pressure problem, causing me to have to change my engine block.

spun a rod bearing and ate up the rest of them

what had happened was the oil filter relocation kit uses a different oil filter than the honda part #.

yea, that sucks, i'm checking my files for the B&M raning instructions to see if it had anything written about it, i didn't see anything on the initial install.
when i installed and the first honda oil filter it worked fine.

hopefully be back running soon
