Gosh, JOhn!
That's only the second time I've heard of this defect. The first was when I was in the pit lane at Brands Hatch, waiting to go out to practice on the Grand Prix Course.. Oil pressure disappears, and while I'm wondering what the ****, a marshal wanders over and tells my car is being incontinent on the tarmac.
I amaze myself to find that I still have that block! There wasn't enough thread left, so I drilled it right through into the crank case, tapped it and obtained a longer bolt - it worked fine!
The block number starts ME, which makes it a 2000 saloon engine, but it continues "547ESS". I'm sure about the last three letters, which should I thought be numbers. What's the number of your block?
JOhn
