So if no oil was getting to the head, you would have seen the oil warning light or no oil pressure registering on your gauge (not sure if mr2;s have a gauge also??) Who would reassemble the engine and start it without getting oil pressure first??? Any 1st year apprecntice mechanic would know that no oil pressure = bad and would investigate the cause of it, even if it was the gasket (which I very much doubt) The fact this 'mechanic' has re=routed the oil to the head externally suggests he DID know of this oiling problem but couldn't be farked removing the head again to investigate the cause. He obviously knew there WAS oil pressure at the oil pump / block / turbo feed, and NOT at the head which means a blocked oil gallery or head gasket issue. Running an oil feed like you have said may have worked as a dodgy patch up if it was a gasket issue, obviously is wasnt the gasket at all. From the information you have provided thus far, he owe;s you a reco head, a head gasket + labour etc, (more like a rebuild as metal from your cam journals have probably found their way through the motor..check the sump.) Don't pull it down yourself. work something out with him and have a qualified mechanic who is prepared to give a written report do the post mortem or at least be present as a witness when old mate pulls it down. My 2c wth Good luck.. [Report message to a moderator]
