If you put the oil lines on back to front, the oil filter acts as a 1-way valve stopping oil getting to your engine.
Outer feed is oil in (from the pump), centre is oil out to the bearings etc
If the oil is fed into the filter through the centre, the rubber flap will stop pressure getting to the engine.
Double check that the outer feed from the pump on the sandwitch block it fitted to the outer feed to the filter on the remote housing,
Likewise the center feed to the bearings is connected to the filter outlet (centre) fitting on the remote housing.
Hope that helps.
yea thanks guys iv checked all that but after the first one went.
the only reason i would rather try it with another shity motor is that im in the process of building a boosted motor and want to sort out the problem before i put it in cause if i fuk the new motor ill neck myself considering that bout 5000 is going into the bottom end.
well keep the fuk motor in there then and hook up a guage
It's a lot of effort but pull the crank out and throw new bearings at the current motor. Check there's no metal in the oil pump and strainer and try the motor again. Would rather pull the block out and have the block flushed too but for like 200 bucks you know the motor has good bearings at least.
