Another photobucket update, this time showing the modified oil pump. http://www.photobucket.com/endura_oil
Getting a round pipe fitting into a rectangular hole was a tad tricky. If it doesn't leak a bit I'll be astounded. I'm going to use a remote filter head, probably mounted low and behind the gearbox to keep the mess down at oil changes. Speedflow do a 4 port remote head quite cheaply; 4 ports allows the head to be mounted almost anywhere since pipes can come from either direction. The unused ports are blanked off, and my cunning plan is to modify one of the blanking plugs to provide the turbo oil feed. Just a couple more little jobs to attend to, then it's all go for another trial fit of the engine. SHOULD fit OK now.
