Thanks for all the hard effort you put into this BBWF Chedder, hope your car is up and running soon, you really did look p****d off not being part of the rumbles. Please remember to post up about those dvd's if they come off.

cheers mark E4 OOS. 400SE

Damn annoying when things like that happen, but managed to get a lift in Robs SX and my lad was in Phils SEAC for the Prom run so can't really complain.
Engine is now in bits, have bought an intermediate front cover (crank driven oil pump)
so hopefully it will be back on the road in a few weeks unless the crank has suffered damage, then a replacement block will be required..Hmmm 4.2 4.6 or 5L

I thought the nose of the crank needed to be longer for the intermediate cover to be used.. cam is different too.. from what I remember when talking to my engine builder.

Hoping to be wrong here..

Just measured mine for you :

101mm nose of crank to block

89mm pulley part only

Worth noting that John Eales sells the crank pulley assembly complete (upgraded part) brank new, not sure of price but about £60 ..
