No oil pressure!!! A little lower end noise now
Hey guys
Well im sure this will get a few laughs but what the hell ill ask anyways..... I bought a 2000 with a bad motor!?!?!?! It is reading no oil pressure but still starts it does have some slight lower end noise , So the question is if the oil pump is bad will it cause the lower end noise? and is it possible that if I change the oil pump will the noise go away without changing any internals? prob hard to answer without a hearing but is it possible if no damage has been done to the crank, bearing ,rod ect?? Thanks and advance |
Jack the passenger side of the car up and look at the oil pressure sensor and make sure that the connector plugged onto the prong is fully seated.
|
That I will do thanks! If the pumps bad do you think it would naturally make noise?
|
if there is no oil pressure, and there is noise coming from the bottom end, the engine will need to be rebuilt.
|
I figured, Hey fooger im In Indian Lake OH. if you know where that is...
Know were I can pick up a good block in Ohio? |
Wish I did, I've got a few trips I'd make myself. You pick up that car in oxford?
|
well it was delivered from Oxford, I got a killer deal even though i need to rebuild! sad thing is the motor only has 43k on it and is under warranty but the shop wont take care of it!!
|
I thought about offering the guy $500 for it, but I didn't have a source for a motor.
|
i gave him 700 del. its actually a really clean car ( except a little quarter panel damage )with 90k on the body hell it had a 500.00 head unit in it! lol

im gonna pull her in the garage tomorrow and check it out thanks again!
|
So what kind of noise are we talking about? Like horrible grinding sounds or just regular motor noise?
|
Its a real faint knock like in the oil pan cant really hear it at a idol
|
^^ Sounds like a spun rod bearing, or the BP4W thrust bearing gayness (cyl #4).
If you get a cheap block/engine, $700 still sounds like a good deal. Welcome. [IMG]oops I edited out your midly racist picture[/IMG] |
yeah im gonna look for a short block and just swap the head and call it a day and then use the bad block and build it. thanks for all the info fellas!!!
|
If anyone has a good block let me know
|
just work the block you have the car is obviusly not driveable the way it is now so why go throught the extra expense of buying another motor.
|
is it possible to just change the crank bearings by removing the oil pan?
|
You can't get the pan off in the car anyway, so just pull the motor.
|
Pulling the engine is a 2 hour affair if you work slowly.
