You claim not to be engine mechanic yet you have diagnosed a faulty oil pump? My engine for over ten years ran at 50 psi over the years it fell to 24 when I checked the hand book the correct pressure all along should have been 24 your pressure may be down to a degree of over heating, get the whole set up ckecked by a good enginneer before you take it out ( the engine that is) CKP

Now we're at Kings Bromley we generally go there for things and last year they put in side hatches for us. It didn't stop raining after that though so they didn't get the use we'd planned, but a good job done on them.
