Glad to be of help.

I think we both know that you will only be happy if one person builds it for you, so time to pull your finger out.

That said if you want it run in over night, i'll offer my services, I can manage that.

Not quite.

But yes its designed with the little trap doors to greatly reduce oil surge. More than enough for road use with the odd track session chucked in

Engine removed due to 2.5 upgrade and was running beautifully when removed.

Car covered 35k miles, always warmed up, cooled doen with regular oils changes using Motul competition oil.

Looking for £500

I could of had it for sale over a year ago mate.

This motor will make a perfect upgrade for someone whos engine has failed or looking to run 400bhp+

Please also bear in mind it has been stripped by a professional engine builder and cleanliness has been of upmost importance. This is no sh1tty motor from ebay!
