URGENT oil pressure stop engine
Pesky jones:
Cheers. Im going to turn that a few times to see if the engine iss seized and to check the timing is still correct.
SiofChester:
Lots. Get the pickup pipe and o ring replaced then you can try to start it without fear of doing damage

How much crap was in the sump?
When you remove the oil strainer wash it in petrol and see how much crap is in it.
If you do manage to turn the engine leave it at TDC on the Tbelt end so you can check the chain end.
If it is plugged look second hand cause that will be expensive to diy your engine.
Pesky jones:
I need to clean it properley to see how much gunk is in There, although it didnt look like loads tbh.
How do I get to see the timng belt and how do I know it is tdc?
And then to check the chain end do I need to remove the cam cover?
doylebros:
Read that last link I posted and see if you feel confident about that work then read dazza maintenance thread for the cam chain
Both the above require quite a few special tools and aren't top of my list for on the drive outside jobs.
