sorry to hear, im sure youll sort it.
Also That looks very similar to my 200sx engine before i swapped it. that had a blocked oil line but it was caused by bad maintinence - not enough oil changes ect. on the 200sx it had gotten so bad that the cams had chipped at the side due to heat build up.

Hiya, didnt realise that was you or else i would have said hello but i didnt want interfere with nick talking to what i thought was new faces lol!
Yeh the oil leak was just a tiny dripping from the o ring on the dipstick nothing to do with this problem. It went bang on our way home from nicks unit.
So you all reckon it could be bad servicing as far back as the previous previous owner? From what i can read from cars history owner before us who is a club vr4 member had it for about 18months.
Its just pure bad luck i guess that the time bomb went on us

a mate of mine had a v6 gto and the roller idler bearing collapsed and threw the belt. sounded just like you said. we got the heads off and there was nothing left of anything apart from a scored cylinder bore. new engine? yes please. probably easier anyway. mitsubishi wanted an arm and a leg for every part broken
