No Oil Pressure

[Raptor]

As long as we are on that subject, built 2.4 6bolt :bounce: You could join the club. There are a bunch of em out there now.

Brian, I can teach you how to do the timing belt any weekend if you want.

I'll just keep this motor till it blows. Then I'll build the 2.4.

But until then I'm going to stick with the problem at hand.

[SlowWhite]

Well found out a few things.

1)1996 GS-T and 1995 GSX Oil pans are a little bit Differenct in Sum Respects but in general can be considered the same

2) Oil pick ups between the 1996 and 1995 are different. the 1996 GS-T pick up is about 1.5 inch's longer then the 1995 GSX

3)The Oil Pick up wasn't the problem. We're moving on to the Oil pump. I have my Oil pump from my 1995 GSX hopefully they are the same, john checked it out and said it's fine.
If we find that the oil pump failed and the metal that was in my oil pan is from the pump that it went through the motor and that could be why I have a vibration in my pedals now at idle which I didn't have before which could mean my motor is trashed, If that's the case then I'm done for probably the next 2 years.

Good luck, i hope thats not the case..

but if it is, guess what that means ??

that means you get to take your car apart ;) .. put it up on the stands.. sand all the rust off it and remove all dents.. primer it and get it all nice and painted!!! lots of details can be done over time and missded when you are in a hurry.. Just think how clean that car will be in two years ;)
And that won't cost you much, maybe max few hundred for the supplies..

I doubt you'll be able to last 2 years without your car Brian, unless you're in South Carolina.

[SlowWhite]

If I'm in South Carolina I'd want it up ASAP. - above 50degree's year round.

road Coarse larger then BIR, and a 1/4 Track less then 10 minutes from where we're trying to move to.

Hopefully today I'll get things figured out.

[JET]

What road course is bigger than BIR down there?

Hopefully it is just the oil pump Brian. That isn't too terrible to change out.

[SlowWhite]

Well I'm hoping it's just the oil pump. However I have a vibration in my pedals now. I don't know if it's from no oil in the head.

Or if something happened when the oil pump went. - the metal shavings, etc in the oil pump have me scared, I'm starting to think they might have gone through the motor.

In which case who knows what else is in the motor. I'll probably have to tear it apart just to make sure.

Replace the oil pump and run her 'til she dies! It's a 7 bolt for gods sake!
