I attended the SVRA season-opener at Sebring last weekend. I had the Elva MK IV and did well, coming in first in Group 1. We were mixed in with group 3 cars which consisted primarily of many 356 Porsches that were an awful lot faster than those I normally encounter at other events.
During the last race I noticed my oil pressure was running low at about 35 psi which is down 10-15 pounds from normal. An inspection of the oil filter shows lots of shiny specs and I suspect my main bearings are shot. This comes at a good time as I have been building up an FWB Coventry Climax (1460 cc) engine to replace the present FWE (1218 cc) motor and I hope to take it to the dyno shop on Wednesday.
A pic from the event is attached.
