hey guys

thanks for the replys.

I checked it out today, doing quite a few tests it had seemed that the oil wasn't flowing correctly into the sump.

we undid the drain hose ( its quite long ) and re angled it so it has a direct downward slant towards the sump, pulled it off the sump to see if it flowed correctly and it worked while the car was started.

a little bit of oil seeped everywhere but we refilled it. IM hoping this was the problem as michael has stated above as it was previously blocked.

UNFORTUNATELY my mate whos a toyota mechanic didnt quite tap the sump correctly and will need to be done again as the drain hose is quite loose =(

I'll be drilling it again, put the tap on the drill with some wd40/tap fluid and re-tap it very slowly. then insert the helicoil and it should

hold with the new thread. will use alot of grease for the shavings!.

I hope it isnt a rebuild , if it is, I'll just have to put it on hold till I can buy turbo.
