Should have had a chat with you before getting stuff done mate, i knackered the crank so thinking a det crank would be easier to get hold of found one, and had it checked,ground and balanced and then bought bearings to suit!unfortuneatley the oil pump is for the ET so gotta real mis match going on! will stick a post on here and DW to see if i can get a decent ET crank, i imagine they are even rarer! i didnt wanna drill the rods but it was another idea thrown into the mix as a possible solution. will stick with the ET sump as i dont like the oil surge ideas and im pretty impressed with the 1.95 G acceleration! thats why i wanna stay 8v, prefer the torque curve! last time mine was on the rollers it was 183bhp and 195ftlbs torque (at 4,500rpm as i had a dodgy coil!) whats yours kicking out?
I do have a spare ET engine basically complete but didnt wanna rip it apart just to rob the crank, as it is still possible that i could encounter the same issues with a sticky crank gears!
