URGENT oil pressure stop engine
StuF:
How was the oil when you dropped it?
Any metal particles in it or lumps? Often hard to see really fine metal if there is any
How about the oil filter - was it clear?
It turning over by hand looks encouraging though so you may be in luck
Pesky jones:
Ok yeah it turns clockwise, but as I mentioned there are turns with more resistance than others and when it does theres the sound of air escaping somewhere, if I wait for the air to escape then its no longer as hard to turn. Also as I mentioned there was some clicks/clunks.
I havnt had a proper look at the oil yet but the pickup pipe just looked a bit clogged with black sludge.
@doylebros start it without the fuel pump? So I dont need to take the fuel pump out, just the fuse? May I ask why? Also there is no oil light on the dash at the moment, but there may be when I turn it on I guess.
doylebros:
Your not wanting to run the engine just get oil pressure built up - like I said your best waiting till Saturday for your dads mate.
If he's a no show then you'll have to be guided but let's wait and see if he turns up.
Pesky jones:
That seems logical.
So should I not worry about the occasional clunk and the air escaping? It may be my mind but it did seem easier clockwise the whole way round then anti clockwise. Sorry for all the questions, I really apreciate the help
doylebros:
Your engine runs clockwise and thus should be turned in that direction.
Other than the single click in the video the video showed great promise - the air escaping noise is typical on the compression stroke - two full turns of the crank nut is needed.
Now engines with bent valves and snaped valve guides etc turn over as well but it's more promising than a seized engine.
