Yes I wasn't too happy about having to do this! but now it s out and i can get it on the engine stand and sort it in comfort! I hate Lying under cars, oil dripping in your face, having taken the sump off!

Thanks for the offer of help! I'll see how i go, I think it will be an hour here and there... I really don't have time for this!

Cheers,

Nice work Rob
Hope the stripdown/re assembly is trouble free.

YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HHAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Just stripped the ****** and found the knock!!!!

would you beleive it? the oil pump!
The dogs for the drive off the crank are well worn, in the pump that is, crank perfect.lots of back lash = knocking noise!

Going to fit some total seal rings as the pistons are well mucky with blow by.

So who stocks the rings?

all the bearings are like new!!

tonight!

Good result Rob... Must admit I would have been utterly gobsmacked if it was crank related. Pretty rare that its the oil pump actually - but thats a result.

Does remind me that I need to put crucial torque settings like that onto s2central one of these short short days.

Bet you are relieved now - have a beer of three !
