Got Oil Pressure....

.... nup.

Ok some of you know the trouble i've had with my EB lately, the original motor let go so i decided to put a 3.9 in it as it was FREE and i was assured it had compression and was a runner. That didn't work out. A lot of time and fuel wasted there. Oh well move on.

Got another motor, STOKEB's old 4.0 with AU internals, bolted my good head onto it and crowcam, wacked it all together and dropped it in last night. Got it started, but by this stage it was really late so we only ran it for 20 seconds or so and than called it a night. This evening, with the help of Doug and Sunny and Ash, we got everything back together and had it ready for a test run. We started it up and had it running for a couple of minutes while trying to find a vacuum leak, all a sudden the ticking starts getting really loud. Checked oil presure, and there was none. :o Pulled the rocker cover off to find my crow cam destroyed, the head is wrecked too, i'll post pictures tommorrow maybe, it's a real mess shavings everywhere.

Anyways we spoke to Hus (STOKEB) about it and we reckon the motor has been tampered with at some stage, as it went through 3 different people before I put it in, and It deffinately had a working oil pump when Hus Sold it. So ИИИИing ИИИИed off.

Pretty close to throwing in the towel with this car, but i'm going to persist and get a motor from a wrecker with a warranty, possibly AU motor this time. Hopefully will be doing the swap in about 2 weekends time. if anyone wants to come lend a hand it would be much appreciated.

Just a warning to others, be wary about ИИИИ you buy off these forums, as sometimes you don't know what the ИИИИ you are getting.

Stay tuned For "ИИИИED motor number 4!!!"
