was out with a few mates last night and noticed that my oil pressure had dropped dramaticly all of a sudden a causing the oil light to come on and the engine started tapping so i turned it off straight away.
engine is an x16xe and i had only done 300 miles in it since it being back on the road after i did head rebuild and big ends.
so i pulled the lump out today and started stripping it down as im and going to completely rebuild the bottom end.
took the sump off and the oil was a bit '' metalicy ''and had a patch of ''mayo'' at the bottom of rod cap on cylinder 3.
anyway got few prices today and from SBD i may buy their oil pump upgrade parts, solid steel pump gear and nylon relief valv. but at a heavy price of £130. but i assume this should be a sensible mod.
any suggestions on what i should do? as i need it to be strong and reliable, not that fussed on getting more power at the mo as ill just get cams.
