Bit of update
so while on the dyno we discovered a few drops of oil under the car. A bit of investigation reveals the most likely culprit is a cam seal…. Annoying! So at some point I’ll have to pull the front of the engine off and install a new seal.
I’ve also been speaking to Brett at BDE and will be purchasing his now PS pulley for ATi crank pulley, which will resolve the issue of it spitting off its PS belt.
I’ve also been going through the datalogs of some of the drives I’ve had to identify the cause of the imbalance of fuelling between banks. While I’m not sure it’s totally the cause, I have found that the alternator is not keeping up with demand. While the pic shows voltage drop during a pull down to 13.06v, wider analysis identifies a direct correlation between the fuelling of the engine and the electrical systems being above or below 13.5v. So I’m going to have my alternator inspected, and if it’s performing as expected I’ll either look at having it uprated to 120amp (to offset the 24amp draw of the 525lph pump) or if that’s not possible I’ll look to upgrade to a 200amp unit from WPS or WOSP.

In Tennessee, a guy sees a sign in front of a house:
"Talking Dog for Sale
He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the back yard.
The guy goes into the backyard and sees a black Lab just sittin'
there. "You talk?" he asks. "Yep," the Lab replies. "So, what'
your story?"
"The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I discovered this gift
pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA
about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to
country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because
no
one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most
valuable spies eight years running. The jetting around really tired me
out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger and I wanted to settle
down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover
security
work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in.
I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a
batch of medals. Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I'm just
retired."
The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants
for the dog. The owner says, "Ten dollars." The guy says, "This dog is
amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"
The owner
replies,
"He's a liar. He didn't do any of that sht."
