The oil feed has a rather fine screen, so most O rings that fall into the sump don't cause trouble. BUT I have investigated a few multiple small O ring debris failures.

Not sure exactly (Busy shooting Germans again), BUT it is more likely that the damage was caused by a low oil level, sudden serious oil leak under power, very thin oil, very old oil, wrong oil filter, long term use of supermarket engine oil, etc, etc (A tad busy at present).

Now on a mission for God (Might be to God if it's as dangerous as the GrowMO tour of MisseryMO State USA).

JOHNNY English, the ultimate government tax collector!

PS: I lost my copy of the BBC 2 Cloud Lab stick.

Skyship I have rebuilding and building engines for the best part of 15yrs, when I say it's caused by lack of oil due to the pick up being blocked then thats what it is, seen the same damage thru engines with pick up blocked. Not that I need to explain my reasoning!

I wonder of he's tested that one yet....

[ma70]

I have, actually was really impressed with it... In my Allegro that was though! (used to go through nearly as much oil as petrol so the cheaper the better for that! Was at the point I was considering topping up with "used" oil from the scrapyard, before the car itself went there.
