The short block from the link is more than I paid for the car hahaha I've picked up a bargain. W reg uk2000 with 80k full service history. Spotless body etc. I was ideally looking for a second hand drop in lump.... for now. This is my first subbie. I've had a few jap monsters in my time (400bhp pulsar gtir, 600whp r32 gtr to name the most powerful). I have found a few online but all seem to be wrong version.
It had just had a oil service before I bought it. Engine was quiet but driving around I noticed a drop in oil pressure, so pulled over to investigate then started knocking badly and them "boom". I'm thinking oil starvation from a incorrectly primed oil change.
