Engine update - 1st Feb 2005 1:07pm
Couldnt find the original thread
Soooo, engine is in bits!
The news aint good!
4 main bearings have gone, rods are knackered, crank is knackered, psitons are knackered as they have scraped the bores meaning the block is also fubarred! Oil pump has had it, turbos need a recon - basically, a full new bottom end
He has suggested oil contamination from maybe when the new turbos where fitted, but Im pretty sure that if there was anything in there it would have been caught by the filter
My oil pressure was low, but I put that down to a dodgy sendor (They are known for failure) but such a sudden deteriation in the engine could acutally be an oil pump failure and the gauge was correct???
Im going up there this afternoon to have a look at the motor and the damage and where to go with it
