Omega Owners Forum - 2.5v6 engine

paul26may Newbie Offline Posts: 17	2.5v6 engine 04. May 2011 at 10:55 My Elite 2.5V6 seized (according to the RAC) last year and I refuse to give up on her! Can anyone tell me where I can get a replacement? I am really very wary now having almost got sucked in by Bray Engineering.

May 2011 at 11:14 Is it actually seized, or has something like the cambelt failed? If latter, you may get away with replacement heads. Could try PM'ing the likes of Darth Loo-knee or Elite Pete who are often breaking Omegas - they may have replacement engines/heads/wahtever. Albs is also breaking a car, but can't remember what engine size it is.

Was driving along M58 motorway and oil light came on. Got off at next junction and everything went dead. To be honest I wouldn't know how to check if it has seized - I am only taking the RAC chap's word for it.

As for Bray I searched for a recon and they phoned me on several occasions and even told me that once the engine was fitted I could legitimately have the clocks wound back to zero! Cheesy
