Yes! Its quite an interesting story... and god these are resilient engines...
First we started out with crappy low Oel Pressure:

Then after a number of oil changes, oil flush treatments, and a couple of oil filters, we got it up within spec (1.0bar oel pressure hot and 3.0bar+ oel pressure at 3000rpm):

Also by using oil designed for high milage engines the valve stem seal smoke has pretty much gone away and so has the plug fouling. We've had a few good test runs in it now and its running nice and strong in the 100-140km/hr speed range.
As a part of any race car I built its manadatory for me to have an oil temp guage, so I bought a good used sump from a wrecked 350SE and installed the temp sensor into that. Yesterday I removed the old sump from my car and it was amazing the accumulated junk in it:
It would appear that sometime in its life its had a plastic chain tensioner go brittle and break up, and they've changed the chain at some time (there's some chain debris in the sump as well). Whoever changed the rails and chain neglected to remove the sump and clean it out. The gause was clogged with pieces of broken chain tensioner and the rubber doodad on the bottom of the oil pickup was also buggered... so I can't fit my new sump until I replace that on Monday.
I didn't remove the oil pump after all that as I've decided the clogged pickup is the cause of the problem, and now thats fixed I'm expecting oel pressure as good or better than that in the 2nd video.
