So the pulled the sump off to look at it and found fillings in the bottom of the sump. On closer inspection they found the rods were not done properly and then had a look at the girdle. AND ......... Guess what they Oil pickup to girdle had a clearence of 1mm... 1 f*cking mm how the hell is any amount of oil meant to get to the pickup with 1mm of clearence !!!!!! So all this time of engine out, engine in, engine out pulled apart put back together and not even double checking the pickup is beyond a JOKE !!!!!! The engine is now with RDP engine builder to fix the problem and write a report up on it.I'm going to have to lodge with Fair Trading to try and recoupe the extra costs that were not needed had the job been done right in the first place.

Write a letter/email to them to say you want it fixed for free.I'm waiting till Real Dyno puts a report together that states what has happened. I'm not letting the engine builder have the engine again he has had two chances at fixing the problem first attempt was to just change the oil gears. Second attempt was step the motor down and check and reassemble thinking it was the VCT gears leaking. I myself and Real dyno asked the builder to check the oil pickup and on both occasions he said that it was fine. Once the report from Real Dyno is completed as well as a report from a independent engine builder with pictures and total costing I will write a letter stating the problem and the costs that could have not been needed had the checking been done in the first place, and registered mail it to the builder.

He is picking the motor up tomorrow to "fingers crossed" fix the problem for good. On a rare good note he has told me that the extra cost in engine removals he will pick up the bill.
