Hi, wonder if anyone can help (before i spend a week with the cyl head off :)

Towing 3 cows and the engine killed itself on the motorway.

TFound the oil retunn pipe from the turbo had ruptured and dumped oil out, went too low to pump so ground to a halt.

I dont think it siezed completely. I have replaced the pipe and re filled the ol' girl with oil, and got rid of the airlock.

Now it runs ok and is smooth (as much as they are), however it really has lost all of its power.
Turbo is spinning, timing keyways/ fuel pump line up as they should.

I'm thinking damage to rings/ bores.

Anyone help?

Chris
 
Hi,

Im sorry to say , but nine times out of ten the first thing to when an engine looses its oil pressure is the turbo is the first to go. Sorry.
