Sorry to hear about the engine mishap. It's soul destroying after so much careful work!

[Derek_in_Penzance]

I'm new to the V6 engines (a bit late in the day!) so I don't know very much about them, but when I do an engine rebuild I always like to put an oil pressure gauge on it so that on first startup the oil pressure can be monitored. Although I don't suppose that would necessarily show up a blockage in one of the galleries. Just a thought.

I spread the components of a 2.0 8V SEH in a CalibrE (note the E) across the Runcorn Bridge at Rush hour after the conrod decided to go through both sides of the block and destroy the starter motor in the process.

Someone else owns it now  [smiley=cry.gif]

i know exactly how you feel... that ex plod MV6 i had, ok it needed odd bits sorting like the multiram and exhaust manifold but ran spot on apart from that, serviced it at markey marks then within a week it died with believed big end bearings, it had chips of metal in the intake and in the sump!

really is gutting and annoying... look what it did to me, it was so bad i bought a tank
