Rob, as a minimum bin the oil pump and check all the shells. With the much metal debris floating about the pump will be scrap and the shells maybe scored :(

That was my thoughts to be honest. The car was suffering low oil pressure when it warmed up so i was going to be digging anyway |

The crankcase was all peppered on mine, as well as the crank webs, ended up doing a full rebuild with new oil pump etc. Even took my block in and had it acid dipped to clean the gallery's out Edited by Pauly on 26th Oct, 2014. |

You can see why people fit windage trays, apart from the obvious oil being thrown about, it also stops a lot of gearbox flying around in the case of a breakage On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Well i started stripping the block to see how that was looking, 2 reasons, one being a drop in oil pressure when hot and the second being the obvious with the shrapnel.

You would still have had drive in 4th gear like that, although obviously debris is moving.

I do have a cunning plan though ![]() On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

I suppose building a box that doesn't grenade itself would be a start!

I fitted Mercedes jets, that open at 30psi oil pressure. Pretty easy fit; I just chose the first one that looked like the bimmer ones instead of trying to track them down.
