URGENT oil pressure stop engine
Pesky jones:
Firstly, I appologise for another post without any progress, but I cant do anything until I receive the long reach anyway :wink: But someone at work has said the big ends could have bent. I didn’t think I could remove the oil pump unit to reveal the big ends because the bolts aren’t reusable and apparently cost 600£! Im hoping that the big ends never lost oil pressure if it was just the tensioner exploding and loosing oil pressure there. There would still be oil pressure in the block, right? I’d hate to get the head rebuilt/replaced etc spend a load of money only to find there are issues with the block.

I very much doubt youve bend anything near the crank shaft.

You won't have bent a rod, but you could have scored the big ends, crank, spun a bearing etc. from running without oil pressure. The only way to know is to either strip and examine, or get the top end sorted, try to start it and hope for the best

I think if the tensioner has exploded or whatever then that would explain the oil pressure light? so if that's the place it lost oil pressure, then there would still be oil pressure around the big ends hopefully?
I think i'm going to try sort the top end out and hope for the best
