I didn’t think I could remove the oil pump unit to reveal the big ends because the bolts aren’t reusable and apparently cost 600£! Im hoping that the big ends never lost oil pressure if it was just the tensioner exploding and loosing oil pressure there. There would still be oil pressure in the block, right? I’d hate to get the head rebuilt/replaced etc spend a load of money only to find there are issues with the block.

So the big ends are probably fine?
Cover comes off tonight so will report back/post pics tonight.
On another note, I saw in dazzas thread you said that the laser cam locking tool isn't strong enough to hold the exhaust cam whilst undoing the adjustor bolt? If I need to undo mine will this be a problem?

This tool has been used 6 times now with no problems.

I still need to remove the cover to look at the condition of thr tensioner and chain etc. To confirm that was the reason for the low oil pressure message. If its in good condition then the oil pressure message has come from somewhere else.

So the inlet camshaft does still turn when you turn the engine by hand? If it does and the chain has slipped a lot then many valves could be bent. I would start looking for a replacement head.
doylebros:
Let's get the cover off and see what you find - if you thought the rear caliper carrier bolt was tight,wait till you meet the bolt item 7.
Pesky jones:
Haha @doylebros in my defence I could only get at it with a smallish ratchet spanner. Now I have something nearly four times the length so thats four times the moment, should be enough force. Famous last words.
