The source of my engine problem

[Frosticles]

Only taken me 6 months to get the enthusiasm to have a look at what was causing the noise on my Engine. So, this morning took the sump off to have a look.
No2 Con Rod bolt has been catching the oil pick up pipe and making itself a nice little channel in it. Also, No1 Con Rod Bolt has fractionally been touching the body of the new oil pump that was installed but not gouging it. (This will be sorted by my friend Dremmel!)
Anyway, Still hugely narked off by all of this to say the least. But, at least it is nothing major.

NEED A NEW OIL PICK UP PIPE NOW IF ANYONE HAS ONE.

The gouge..............


How close!

despite all the **** taking I'm glad its easily sorted son not on when you shell out a lot of cash for something

but let this be a lesson to you, modified is bad, standard is the way forward, SON

[hally]

Certainly is, I learned my lesson years ago. It's certainly a lot less of a pain in the @ss

[Frosticles]

Don't really want to weld it up as I want to be 100% with it. Will get him to buy me a new one from Burtons.

use a big hammer to move it out the way

You have has some stick over your engine keV, and gave as good back.. Sounds like an easy fix at least... So crack on son soon be lakes!!

[grum]

did it not come with a warranty or did they just think because you never drove the thing it would be alright

[Frosticles]

did it not come with a warranty

Warranty.........................
Just off the phone after a little "Heated" conversation. Put it this way......No warranty! Has offered me £50 for my "Troubles" though

Shouldn't it have been checked for clearance by your builder?? Is it a long throw crank??

Yes and Yes.

[lee bishop]

What happened to the swarf post chaffe of the pipe ??

[Dave1800BDA]

glad youve got the enthusiasm back son and youve found the problem,

surprised you didnt leave it to the day before the lakes

[vinny]

glad its sorted m8, cant believe it was missed during build up

[prs]

annoyed but somewhat relieved I'd say. As Lee says swarf...I'd flush the oil ports and fit a new spray bar. Good you sorted it tho.
