Starts fine but no oil pressure. Oil light comes on sold and then starts flashing then buzzer sounds. Had a pal suggested that the strainer on oil pump could be blocked and could be as easy as dropping the oil and giving it a clean, any suggestions please.

would be an idea to drop the sump and see whats going on, possibly drop a big end cap and look at the bearing condition

Hi, Replace the switch with a gauge to see if there really is no pressure.

I think you have to loosen the gearbox and shift it over a bit to get to the bolts at the flywheel end of the sump. Might get in there with a wobble joint on a 1/4" socket though.
The trouble is, if it is blocked, where has that material come from?

You can get in with a wobble bit on a small socket.
Instant gasket can block these up very effectively if it has been used too liberally, but as above you need to get in there and have a look...

Sound like you lost all your oil . It might have moved the picked up or buggered it.

Check the hex drive from the chain to the oil pump , they're well known for wearing then letting go with total loss of pressure . A cut down 6mm Allen key is a good replacement

Well iv found my problem as I took the sump off. The oil baffle is in about a million bits in the bottom of the tray. Could have been far worse!!!

how long was it driven after hitting it ? might be worth dropping the con rod caps and looking at the bearings , or price them up they might not be too dear

I would really have the whole lot out and go through the bottom end . Its bound to have bits of metal in the oil galleries etc so may well just grind to a halt again after a while unless done properly.

If it's worn the big end bearings, that material has to have gone somewhere. Laziest thing to do would be a few oil and filter changes in quick succession after a few hours running and hope for the best. |
