Well its currently being stripped down. They are being strange about wanting to admit fault and stand by the warranty they gave me.

Can someone tell me what causes high oil pressure? Viscosity of the oil?

Do they know what caused it  :undecided: or is it down to the mods

£2440 for the privilege and that's with a discount of good will.

No signes of wear in the engine block which is a good sign I suppose :undecided:

Not down to mods. So the only thing on that engine that hasn't been replaced is the block now. So in the past 6 months of ownership I have worked out I have spent a good part of £5000 on it  :sick:
