I usually back up my photo's 2 PC anyway so wouldn't of lost that many, mainly just the ones I took on the bush walk that I had taken before it went for a swim. Even managed to retrieve all my contacts which is something I never really backup :)Quote:

Looks like low oil pressure is due to worn bearings.
How the fark am I to mod this thing when I'm always fixing things.
Pissed right off ATM..

Fark must be some serious slop in bearings if it's enough to affect oil pressure..
Does it knock much??
I've always said that if I had to rebuild this engine I would look at a turbo or side mount blower. That's not going to happen.....Quote:

It's lost a little pressure not heaps. No knock.Quote:

The engine has around 500,000km so its probably due, as a wear and tear item.

FGEN Bunnings. Waited 3 weeks for kitchen benchtops. They arrived, builder went away. Builder arrived, no benchtop bolts.
5 weeks. Builder rings, benchtop 2 is too long by 50mm and can't be cut down, have to order new benchtop. 3 week wait.
We'll be interstate on holidays when the bastard of a thing arrives at our place. It'll probably be left outside and be rained on.
Christ this renovating thing is a complete PITA, it would have been easier to sell the house and move.
How long since you've changed oil?Quote:

My td42 had 525*** on it when sold and used bugger all oil and had brilliant compression.
I'd personally change the oil first for a 10-50 or 15-50 grade and see how that goes..
The oil was 5300km old. I thought the same, may have thinned out. I changed it and it's improved slightly, but more inconsistent now.Quote:

Only other thing I can think of is the pickup mesh may be a little blocked, but as mentioned it's probably just wear and tear on the engine.
Any other possible things to look at to diagnose will be appreciated.

How low are the pressures?Quote:

4-11 psi @ hot idle use to be as high as 20.Quote:

It's around the low end of the recommended range.
I've also put in one of those oil flush. Will do it again (if I haven't done the bearings by them) when the next change I'd due.
