Hello,
so I was today evening in my garage and I looked after the oil filter canister and after the oil pump.
In the canister was a small rest of oil on the bottom about 5mm strong.
Then I started the engine, it came suddenly and I gave it a short kick down. But the oil gauge shows no oil pressure.
After I jack up the truck I disamble the oil pan and take a look after the oil pump. I opened the pump and oil came out of the pump. I turned the rear wheels to turn the engine and look if the pump is turning, the pumps wheels are turning.
So what could be wrong?
Were is the mistake that let the pump have no oil pressure if the engine is tuned off for a day or longer? I check this if I disamble the distributor and spin the pump with a boring machine. It takes a half minute or longer if the pump gets pressure. The pump is new!
Has someone a idea?
