Hi Jono,

I am Christian from Germany and I have a similar problem on my rebuild ZD30 DI engine, I start with the rebuild because of the low oil pressure and I change any bearing, piston and measure the oil pump, the pump was okay and was compare with the given data in the workshop manual. I found a leaked between the engine block and the steel plate behinde the timing gears.
But in the End the oil pressure isn´t at the given limits of the workshop manual.
So you wrote that you would change the pumpe, do you have any positive result after changing? because in Germany you can get the oil pump only togehter with the hole timing cover, because normaly the steel pumps destroy the cast aluminium alloy of the timing housing.
It will great if you or some one else have any solution in this topic, many thanks.
