Kona 10 Posted March 17, 2018 Need help with a '92 VR6, I pulled the head and replaced the gasket(leaking) had it planed, replaced the lifters and oil check valve. After this there is no oil pressure to the upper end, lifters very noisy. Oil pressure light goes out but upper end appears dry. Need help please.

Rado87 10 Posted March 17, 2018 When I rebuilt my engine it was very noisy for about 5/10 minutes. It’s normal apparently but scares the **** out of you for sure! If are worried though maybe get an oil pressure tester for peace of mind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kona 10 Posted March 17, 2018 I'm removing the filter hsg now so I can run a manual gauge(what a PITA) Do you know the oil routing from the pump to the head? Is it jut through the check valve? It appears that way but I can't confirm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gti_Jamo 10 Posted March 18, 2018 Are the lifters new? As said they can take some time to reach pressure, for me it was a good 20 minutes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kona 10 Posted March 18, 2018 Lifters are new and soaked for about a week before installing. Its hard to see much through the oil cap but top end appears dry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
