further onto the explanation of the cam gears....

I don't know if it the cause or effect.
Could be that the bolts were loose, causing the cam speed to dart back and forward, causing a bearing failure.
Could be that the cam seized slightly, turned the cam gear, loosened the bolts and kept going.

If there weren't any alloy in the oil, I would have said the gears were the only issue and put it all back together.
I really hope it's all it was and the alloy is just residue from the last machine.
But......
I want it checked now, while it's all apart. Better safe than sorry.

Emailed and heard back from hi octane regarding the spacer between the mount and original pump housing.
Meant to be 7.65mm
Used washers to achieve 7.6mm.

So, this afternoon, bolted the rest of trhe pump bracket up.

Installed pump gear.
Had to file down the keyway as it was too large and the gear wouldn't go on.
Used some thread locker on the Grub screws as I don't want them to come loose.(love the holes for the allen key)
Installed the belt and tightened everything up.

Now, in hind sight, not the best thing to do, as I still have to install the a.c. and power steer belts.

Should get a JHH distribution block like mine, it deletes the homosex OEM oil filter housing which is prone to corroding followed by mixing water and oil together to make a delish frappe with your oil

Could probably do it without that piece.
But, having so much oil, I do like the thought of the heat transfer helping get it to operating temp as soon as possible.

How much would you pay?

I could organise a group buy :)

Fitted the rear head drain(after a long procrastination session).
One of those, I'll get to it soon, things, that didn't happen soon.
Had to "massage" the factory lines. And it's still a little snug, but should work ok.20180510_162626.jpg20180510_170615.jpg

    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
