further onto the explanation of the cam gears....

I don't know if it the cause or effect.
Could be that the bolts were loose, causing the cam speed to dart back and forward, causing a bearing failure.
Could be that the cam seized slightly, turned the cam gear, loosened the bolts and kept going.

If there weren't any alloy in the oil, I would have said the gears were the only issue and put it all back together.
I really hope it's all it was and the alloy is just residue from the last machine.
But......
I want it checked now, while it's all apart. Better safe than sorry.

Emailed and heard back from hi octane regarding the spacer between the mount and original pump housing.
Meant to be 7.65mm
Used washers to achieve 7.6mm.

So, this afternoon, bolted the rest of trhe pump bracket up.

Installed pump gear.
Had to file down the keyway as it was too large and the gear wouldn't go on.
Used some thread locker on the Grub screws as I don't want them to come loose.(love the holes for the allen key)
Installed the belt and tightened everything up.

Now, in hind sight, not the best thing to do, as I still have to install the a.c. and power steer belts.

Should get a JHH distribution block like mine, it deletes the homosex OEM oil filter housing which is prone to corroding followed by mixing water and oil together to make a delish frappe with your oil

Could probably do it without that piece.
But, having so much oil, I do like the thought of the heat transfer helping get it to operating temp as soon as possible.

How much would you pay?

I could organise a group buy :)

Fitted the rear head drain(after a long procrastination session).
One of those, I'll get to it soon, things, that didn't happen soon.
Had to "massage" the factory lines. And it's still a little snug, but should work ok.20180510_162626.jpg20180510_170615.jpg

    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
    • This is why you flex fuel it...
    • That is what I took from it too. Needed to go AWD S14 imo.
