oooo i know this one.
****** damn stupid squiters i believe is the technical term
And.... We have a winner
Ohh dear that's not good
Feel for you mate
Been a long day, replaced the alternator then went out in the morning to do some logging while its was still "cool"
Hit the rpm limit in 2nd gear and the usual POP, but then I noticed the oil pressure was lower than usual. Stop the car and idled for a bit, no low oil pressure alarm, so went back home. Still had 40psi oil pressure at 3k rpm so took it easy.
Let the car cool down for an hour then took the sump off. Found the square piece in the sump and was confused at first as I had to think what it could be. The other pieces drained out with the oil, only found them after I realised it was the oil squirter from cylinder 2.
No idea why its been sheared off as the pistons don't touch the squirters when the engine is turned over by hand.
Luckily I am a parts hoarder and have a few sets of oil squirters.
HO LEE CHIT - Changing an oil squirter while the crank is still in the engine is a job for various "multi" tools. Put and extra modified brass washer as a spacer just to give the squirters a bit more clearance.
But its done and it was a blessing in disguise as I had a look at the NEW OEM oil pump, which hasn't done more than 3000km, and its almost seized. It's impossible to turn by hand and just possible to turn with a torx key. So I fitted the used one from my 1.8t engine, which still turns easily with one finger.
Sump sealant is drying and I will put the oil in, in the morning, prime the oil system and take things from there.
Oh the bumpy road to big turbos
