All good mate, TBH I was half expecting to trailer it back anyway.
It took plenty of punishment on the ring as well
It had more to give at 175mph but I bottled it and could see oil temp creeping up. I knew the scoob would have them up to say 130, but didn't expect to be able to pull them in at 130+
I'll drop the oil tonight as I have some cheaper oil I can try. The Oil does have a smell of petrol where it has clearly been running over rich big time. I didn't need a wideband to tell me that, I could smell it and see it in my rear view mirror at times. Knock count was quiet though.
- I don't think changing will solve, but oil probably has been thinned by petrol which was possibly part of its demise.
So moral of story is running rich can be just as bad as running lean, and if you want to do high speed runs buy something german, which sort of confirms what I have always believed. The M3's albiet a bit slower would happily do whatever you can throw at it all day everyday.
