god damn tensioners!!! I'm tipping all the intake Valves have hit pistons..... Does this mean time for a rebuild?? eg.Atomic rebuild kit or can I get away with a few goodies like billet rods, new lifters, some h/duty valve springs and h/duty valves, billet oil pump gears

Sounds exactly the same. Do you know what causes this or is just one of those freak occurrences?? I mean it was fine after driving for about an hour then got home turned the car off, ran inside for 10 mins, came back out turned it on, drove out the driveway and bang!!!

So the timing jumped out by 4 notches and threw a pulley out. unsure why it has done this. currently taking the head off to check the valves etc.aren't bent or broken as there is no compression

The last 15,000km or so at 360rwkw but prior to that 270rwkw for approx 40,000km, Time for a re-build ?? has everyone else had to rebuild their engines at about 100k?? I don't think the car had time to bring up an oil warning light as it shut down so fast. Maybe it's something more serious like a bent rod?? any suggestions guys?? Hopefully Herrod's get a chance to open it up and find out the problem tomorrow

Oh dear..... Generally speaking what is the usual diagnosis or knock on effects when an oil pump sh*ts itself? Pistons,rings,rods etc..... There isn't much talk/info about oil pumps failing on the forums. Thanks again

Hi yes, I checked the dipstick and the oil was at normal levels, just ticked over 100,000kms and Herrod's did a full service and tune about 15,000kms ago. I was thinking the grinding noise I heard was the oil pump gears also, but even if this were the case do you think the engine would crank over when trying to start or seize up?? I mean when a car starts up from cold,the engine cranks over and then the oil pressure build's up and away you go. At the moment the engine wont even crank over as if it were seized thanks for the reply also

Hi all, The other day I drove out the driveway and took off as normal, didn't even hit boost then I heard a slight grinding noise up front and instantly the car stalled (auto by the way) then I stuck it in neutral and tried starting again but the motor wouldn't crank over, only the ticking noise from the ignition could be heard. Pushed it back into the driveway and called a tow-truck to take back to Herrod's. I took the oil filler cap off and could see there was no oil in there and the cam had a slight burr on it. Thinking maybe I've blown the oil pump?? Can this lead to serious damage of the motor??? Anyone else had this happen in their FG XR6T?? Should I be looking for a new motor yet?? Previously running 360rwkw prior to the other day's events. Also whist the engine needs to be pulled apart what internal mods should I do so that this won't happen again?? Thanks in advance for any thoughts Cheers
