URGENT oil pressure stop engine
Pesky jones:
Ok
Anyone know if there is a way I can check the cam chain hasnt slipped a tooth?
If I can do this I can work on the assumption that it is oil related and set about cleaning oil pick up pipe and sump.
Thanks

Youll need the 5mm hex which is 100mm long. If you dont have that you'll struggle and break something
