Hi

I just recently got my ute back from a complete engine rebuild including the fuel pump, and am now experiencing a problem of lack of power and oil in the cooling system. The oil cooler on the side of the motor has had had new gaskets and seals and been pulled off twice but I am still experiencing a large amount of oil in the radiator. The radiator is new and there is no water contamination in the engine oil. As well as this the motor has a distinct lack of power. The TD42 has a MTQ Turbo and 3" system and boost delivery is not a problem but on the road the ute will only pull to about 120km/h and the EGT won't climb any higher than about 420C when the throttle is pegged down to the floor. I've had the car at the shop today and the fuel pump plunger and timing checked out so its not it and the fuel pump was set on the bench to have an increase of 10% for the turbo. So what's the problem guys I'm open to any help

Cheers
