robgti 0 Posted March 29, 2008 it is tapping from the head tho. Have not heard any noise from the bottom end. Could it be the oil pump not pushing enough oil around the cams? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sutol 0 Posted March 29, 2008 You need to know if any oil pressure at all, I would take the cam cover off ot at least the oil filler cap and see if any oil being thrown about, if non then worry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roman 0 Posted March 29, 2008 it is tapping from the head tho. Have not heard any noise from the bottom end. Could it be the oil pump not pushing enough oil around the cams? could be... but if you run engine in this condition( no oil presure) you ruin bottom end shells in no time... check first if gauge sender is ok( check vire and plug) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

applemobile 0 Posted March 30, 2008 can just be dirt blocking ine of the oil ways to the cam. Take the cams out, clean the oil ways, check for any wear. Dont rule out a cxheap fix! unless you been driving it around for a while in that case, forget it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
205007 12 Posted March 30, 2008 have you actually checked the oil level? thats going to be the cheapest fix! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djinuk 2 Posted April 5, 2008 This is such a funny post, ? Do you just swap engines when it gets noisy. Do some research and find out what the problem is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robgti 0 Posted April 6, 2008 Yeah i no it would have been cheaper just finding out the problem but as it is my car i have to drive everyday it was easier to take it off the road for a weekend and fit a new engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
