My 98 RR 4.6 is still having it's new engine fitted.

The New Short Engine from RPI Engineering seems to have had a problem with one of the oil channels and the garage couldn't get the Tappets to go quiet.

They tried two new sets of Tappets before realising the oil wasn't getting up into the heads properly.

Hopefully RPI are going to replace the block today.

Anyone else had similar problems?
