URGENT oil pressure stop engine
r5gtt:
If all else fails with TDC
Get a long screw driver or something to put in No1 plug hole once plug is removed then turn the crank a good few times and you'll see the driver bob up and down. You want to get it at rocking so is going up and down when turning the crank nut back and forth. it should be rocking doing this. Hope you understand what I mean?.

@doylebros blimey, all that just to check if timing is correct!?
@r5gtt I followed up until the point where you talk about getting it rocking... And is that a sure way of checking the timing?
If I can turn the engine at the crankshaft nut (not sure I have a 19mm 12pt socket, will a normal 19mm socket do this?) then does that mean the timing is correct, but the chain may have jumped a tooth or two?
I think at the end of the day, I'll just have to clean the pick up pipe (don't need to replace if clean?) put sump back on and re fill with oil and see if it somehow magically starts. To do this ill just need sump sealant, and new oil, right? No other new bits?
If this fails to work (which is looking likely) then it'll be new engine time? Even if the engine does turn at crankshaft nut. Anyone got an idea of cost of second hand engine, labour of fitting and towing to a garage?

Yes it's 100% sure proof as ive had to do that a good few times and you can't get it wrong tbh.
You won't be able to git the hex socket on bud no way.
It has to be the one specified 3/4 socket multi spline if you have one or you'll have to take a trip down to halfauds and pick up one. I'd borrow you mine but you're just way to far out for me as it'll take me forever to a day to get to you from central London and with congestion charged to shaft me I think. don't even have the time as I wake up at six am out for 7 and back for 7ish 8pm :sad1: proper long week days. last Friday I get home at 840 pm from lakeside as they closed off Dartford bridge and caused tails backs for miles and cars moving one space every 20 to 30mintues as I was in that traffic both at 230pm and 6pm.

No worries at all. I think I won't bother, il go on the assumption it's not seized by the engine cranking. I'm just going to do the oil and if that doesn't work take it to a garage for inspection.

Good luck :smiley:
