... really! Where? may i ask?

I might be trying to pick one up from Milton Keynes tonight if they have one.

Richard (hoffer76) has it.
If you want it, it's brand new, never used and includes the pressure relief valve.

You could have a small air leak somewhere that is preventing the oil pump priming. when I built mine I packed it with vaseline to help it prime quicker, might be worth trying if your taking the pump off anyway.
As everyone else has said, check the one way valve first. I'm sure I have a new one the same as the one in the pic Vas psted. I bought it for the stroker and it has the old type fitted. Let me know if you need it.

so is it the head bolts or mains that need trimming.

And i'd be surprised the oil pumps packed up.

[prj]

Yea, I'd be surprised as well, these things last forever

Main bolts, for once 034 are on the ball the kit you buy from them comes with a trimmed stud

[Sonic]

bad news, but im sure it will be the check valve. If you have used arp head bolts, where they trimmed? as one will reach the check valve and crush it. Mine had a partial crush which we think resulted in slightly higher oil pressure readings on the previous setup.

Brian removed some bit of height on the arp bolts to avoid this from happening.

^^^ Spot on.

The check-valve has been crushed by the ARP head-bolts... Rich is going to take his out of his AAN so that he can have the car built back up by tonight, ready to get MOT'd tomorrow.

Many thanks to all those that offered support and parts. Very much appreciated

The race is on... again!

head or main bolts?

[Sonic]

Head AFAIK. I'm using stock main.

Edit actually 2.2 block I take it back so ARP would be the cause
