Cheers ive done that now, it did have a little bit of gasket sealant stuck right in the middle of it and it hasn't come on since, but i didnt run it for very long only about 5 minutes.

thanx liam
Tried two oil pumps now, as soon as it started knocking i took the engine out replaced all the shells, greased them up and it hasnt knocked since.
Also ive got an oil pressure gauge to be fitted, ive got the sender unit, will i need an adaptor tee piece of some sort? As the oil pressure switch and turbo oil feed come off the tee already on the block.
Cheers.
