Fill it up with sawdust and gear oil....should be good for another 100k ?

ken, did it start making noise again once it warmed back up or did you not run it that long ?

makes more noise the closer to operating temp...especially after a hour of highway running....he thinks the oil pump is not up to task and there is no tension on the timing chain because of the low pressure...BIG question yet unanswered...is cause of low pressure....could be fatal or just a new pump.....the saga continues...

Sorry to hear about the bad mis-fortune...but, I think I know the problem...you sanded the rust spots off!

guess i cant make the link between oil pressure and pressure on the timing chain. is the chain tensioned by oil pressure ? if the pump is bad hopefully , since you didnt run it long there is no internal damage. ill keep my fingers crossed for you. what dealership are you at ?
