Apparently they put a rag in the opening at the top of the timing case cover to stop anything falling down there. Well this must of been left there. It caused my turbo to blow in two days blockage of oil feed line then after two months or so it got the better of my engine clogging up the oil pump cause the engine to drop oil pressure and then ultimatly letting go by the chain shearing the teeth off the cams and causeing massive engine damage.This car has been owned by me from day one it has been never opened up and has always been meticuously looked after since it was purchased.The minute I let my guard down and let someone who I don't know and later found out should not trust I was consumed blown turbo and then engine and 12k later someone has take responsibilty.Hope this helps ... 1

I have a couple of guys who I deal with for different mechanical jobs and are both great. this guy which ill mention soon is a f*ck wit with a reputation for blowing engines on dynos and so on then cleaning his hand .I found out alot by researching which I should of done before I took it to him. now I have paid for it. I have to prove that he left the rage in the engine which is the hard part . because he can point the finger at anyone.
