One thing i did not tell is that there was al lot of sludge "mayonaise" mixture of oil and water in valve area,caused by condensating (engine did not loos water). Oil and water don't work well in engines hower there was no mayo on the cam area. Have send a mail to V8 tuner,i am thinking about buyin...

Hi To prime the pump with an electric drill, you take out the distributor, you can then buy or make a shaft that has a drive to match the oil pump drive, put that in the drill and put the other end down the hole where the distributor went, spin the drill until you get oil pressure then refit the di...

Most off the time it runned on the "housebrand" of my local part shop.(ad rosvelds).I was told it is a brand howerver in there o...

Is it the same lobes that are worn as the last, and others are relatively OK? You could inspect the follower bores, valley cast area where oil spills over the cam etc if you are seeing it repeatedly in the same area of the cam. No it are differente lobes,already checked and see no reason wy the oil...

Sounds like either the wrong oil or the oil is getting round the engine properly. Oil pump has new gears,pres relief valve,boosted spring etc. The crank and camshaft bearins don't have any signs of wear so i don't think it is the oil. I runned it on 10W40 semi sythetic,changed it every 7000 km and ...
