No mate but I have just torn a 2000 model V6 apart, internals are mostly the same...... I just bought a timing chain kit & oil pump from the states couldn't afford the prices here. it's not to hard of a job to do, how many k's on it??? I ask because seems oil pump failure at 260,000ks plus is common, the exploded engine out of mine & the second hand on I bought to rebuil were about the same k's & both oil pumps were rooted!! |

yea high K's 284000 but was towed for a good part of its time. I think installing a oil pressure gauge would be a great idea just to keep an eye on it. thanks for the heads up. |

I'm definitely going for oil pressure when I put mine back together. Hangin out for the bits, had the bloody car for a month & only got to drive it half way home from Sydney. |

Sump off job, I have my engine out so I am not sure of the effort required to do it in car. |

i would strongly recommend replacing the o ring between the sump and crank girdle , and o ring between the girdle and block while its apart. |
