Been getting the low oil pressure on recently so took it work today to change my pick up pipe, whipped the sump of and to my horror I found the thrust bearings sat in the bottom off the sump all bent and twisted, main bearings scoured at the sides where the thrust washers shud have been, there was about 10mm play side to side in,
The weirdest thing is that the car drove perfect, no knocking or tapping, no power loss, just the oil light would come on every no and then when it got up to temputure at idle,
I'm devastated , nipped work today about 1pm thinking id be changing the pick up an 4hours later I've got the engine pulled out on the hoist, a furious wife and no tea
I'm on the hunt for a good cheap bottom end or engine (auq) if any one on here has one for sale
