Zero oil pressure
Reply #30 –
Well I didnt use assembly lube cause I didnt build this engine, as I said in my original post (I think) I got this whole engine from a member after he pulled it from his car. Lifters and pushrods and rockers are not okay because they dont exist :p
Anyway. As it turns out, the shaft was actually COMPLETELY missing. Whats f'ed up is that little locking ring that is supposed to hold it in was still laying in there. Only thing I can imagine is that the shaft was stuck to the bottom of the dizzy shaft when he pulled it (he kept his diz) and he was able to yank it out hard enough to pull that ring off the shaft. New shaft was $7 at the zoo.
Sooo all is well now, except... I think I did trash the cam. Theres still a good bit of noise from the top end. So my guess is I prolly trashed the bearings up there since they deal with the most friction.
At least the car is pretty much drivable though. Cam and followers and bearings in the top end is easier to replace than a total rebuild.
