URGENT oil pressure stop engine
Pesky jones:
So. Picked up oil and sealant today. Ive seen that some get the o ring for the pick up pipe, do I need a new one? Obviously no car makes it very difficult to get to a dealer :(
Im going to refit the sump and then try to turn the engine at the crankshaft nut.
If it does turn, this means that damage is top end? My thoughts are that if they cam chain had slipped or split completely, then surely it either would have gone bang, and stopped running straight away? And if it had only slipped a little, why did it keep running, and then start again after being off only to cut out again shortly afterwards?
Markis236:
Possibly cam chain is jumped and smashed some valves if it turns over by hand take the plugs out and try a compression test that will tell you if any valves or smashed
Pesky jones:
Compression test sounds like it needs some specific tools, is that a garage job? Well if turn the crankshaft and there is resistance, and it doesnt turn really easily, won't thst tell me there is compression or is it a really specific compression I won't be able to detect by hand?

Id take off the rocker cover when you are cranking the engine by hand....just to inspect the valves

There would be resistance when turning the crank thats defiantly a good place to start, though i would suggest getting it to a garage at this point could save you further headaches. Either way i hope you can get up and running again soon.
