I suspect that with that damage, that oil was not being pumped anywhere!

Correct. we checked the feed to the oil filter, nothing there.. The fact it died instantly, and I shut it down very quickly, no chance for pumping foreign objects thru the system..

She's back in action. :msm::stirthepot::laughing::spoton::msm:

finally got the tensioner delivered today, in it went with some new gaskets around the place. Very impressed...

No dramas, no missing parts, and no bolts left over.. Helps when you have a Ford mechanic doing it 'properly'.. :msm:

Now it's my turn to repay the favour to him..... I have to turn my mates Formal Lounge/Formal dining room into a seperate study and Theatre room of mass destruction.

Lucky my wife has gone away for 4 days, coz I'm gonna be burning the midnight oil for the next few nights, again.... But it was all good..

what hit the oil pump to break it like that?

Good question.. the gears have just smashed themselves to pieces. I don't know how, or why. I never take the car to the limmiter, much................... anymore.. :stirthepot:

The problem with the manuals is you have to drive them so........... forcefully to make them go fast. Matybe my lack of mechanical sympathy had something to do with it????

I can't complain. The car has been faultless for 55,ooo km and I drive it hard when I drive it hard, if you know what I mean..

My old EVO powered lancer did ok, but did not stand up to the punishment as easily as this car has. That thing went thru 7k launches with 4 people in the car, but it also went thru 3 engines, a clutch and 3 second gear syncros in 2 years!!!!!!!!
