Agreed. If you love the car,source another engine, and fit it yourself.

[TheBoy]

Reason why? I remember being sent to a very wet ground,, to get the bloody gearbox and engine to line up and bolt them together.

The morning was nice and sunny . As was the day LFF64 and I took it out again, and put the original back in.

BMW engine was detuned when it was installed in the Omega.

Same engine was used in BMW and Range Rover with different ECU chip for different power output.

Fitting a different ECU chip can be done at any time, first task is to find a good Omega/BMW/Range Rover 2.5 TD

I assume ex taxi al is referring to a later BMW engine that never got fitted to the Omega but would just drop straight in. The problem would be what to do with the ECU, you would want to fit the donor ECU to get it to run at its best but you would probably have to overcome some electrical issues to get it working (immobiliser for example)

Also, water can get sucked up the exhaust as it stalls, which also fills the cylinders with water, same result.

Sorry but this is just cobblers, or dangle berries, choose your preferred term.  Anyone with any understanding of the 4 stroke cycle will know that an engine will not suck up its exhaust.  I know it's an esteemed admin saying it but sometimes you just have to speak up when someone talks out of their exhaust.

Never heard of back pressure then?

Sure have.  Have you?

pressure

suction

That's an option, for sure

I was actually refering to the running gear from...

Normal running its not going to suck in, but as it stalls it would. Seen it a few times here, during the floods.

Few cars have bought it this way 

[05omegav6]

When the airfilter clogs, it stands to reason that some of the exhaust gasses will be drawn back into the lower pressure caused by piston downstrokes.

Whilst this is unlikely to draw water all the way along the exhaust, it does significantly reduce the pressure within the exhaust

Perhaps you can explain the mechanics of how that works then.

There's that word again.  'Pressure', 'reduced pressure', neither is going to suck up water.  There is some dangle berries talked on this forum.

Now you're just being silly.  Those are dictionary definitions.  I didn't write a dictionary, I use one.  How about you explain the exhaust sucking instead of being petty.
