As the pump is of unknown quality (came with the job lot of engine bits - but have a recept for it from amber performance 3 or 4 years ago) will just get another one direct from cosworth on monday.

Looks like i'm spending next week on my back with oil in my hair again

try removing the jockey wheel that drives the distributor/oil pump and checking that the oil gallery plug is not leaking. had this on my engine and it had very little oil pressure even though it was a fresh engine.

the main oil gallery pressure just leaks past the plug and back to the sump but there is no evidence anywhere unless you remove the thing to check it.
