    Broke it !!

    P#ss#n oil out the back of the oil pump housing (looks like its coming from pump to block gasket, cambelt's dry so don't think its the pump oil seal )

    5 years, first break down.

    Cross member off tomorrow for a good look.

    Fixed it.
    Put an SBD pump on it.
    Expensive, but peace of mind never cheap.
    80 psi when engine warm and car moving.

    Looking for an atlas now, forest arches etc��

    Nothing wrong with forest arches, they sit just below the swage line is all, rather than above it.
