Phil: I have had a look around and they do seem to be mostly further south. Been quoted anywhere between 6-10k for the kind of thing I'm after. Will just have to bite the bullet and do it. Not pulled the engine apart yet, not had time. Will get on it this weekend hopefully and get the full damage report. But suspected seized or cracked block. Sudden lose of oil pressure, over heating then when mechanic asked me to start it made horrible noises and didn't start or turn over properly.... basically up sh*t creek.

Rob: Cheers for the info mate, I'll give Dan a call and see what he says to it.

Hopefully wont be too long to get the car back on the road...

oil pump failure by the sounds.

I'm sending mine to Elite Racing in brisbane (see sig) once I get a couple more things (ahhhhhh stupid money)

sounds like it.

don't cheap out on the oil pump.

i opened up my new motor the other night, bores are very clean and oil was brand new. new head is going to make this motor epic.

my new TIG showed up today :D all i need is the 6boost manifold and i can start fabbing all the new pipes and dump pipe

Yeah that's what I thought... Feckin thing. I will not be cheaping out on an oil pump that's for sure. Any suggestions on one? N1? Tomei? Jun? Should probably get a new water pump while I'm at it too.

Ill get in touch with ERD too and see what they say to it.... Money is the driving factor unfortunately... sucks

i use dan at dc engines for all my machining have a chat to him about building an engine.

or just get a paul at red r racing if you have the $ to spend.

yeah campy is pretty good. he machined my CA when i built it.... little f**ker went hard too

also recommend ERD aswell
