Question for some of you guys that have been around the block....
I took the car up to OCMD this weekend to H2Oi show...car ran GREAT thursday night, all day friday (drove ~60mile to pick up my fiance at the airport)....got home, went and cruized the strip all day friday...was out friday night at some GTGs...went to leave, started down the strip and the "Oil Pressure" idiot light came on....
so i pulled over, check oil, full, check the pan...no dents (so pickup not likely broken off)....so decided to limp it home...started to hear a little tick/knock....parked the car the rest of the weekend, pushed it onto the trailer and came home sunday...
took the car down to the local shop where i get lift time...we pulled the car in, shop owner heard the tick/knock....we pulled the VC, pulled the lower part of the hybrid pan....all looked good...no shrapnel in the oil pan....head looks good....we have positive crank case pressure....
but with an external oil pressure gauge hooked up....pressure reads a big fat goose egg "0"
so curious if anyone has ever seen an oil pump fail? i have a spare pump at home, so i am going back down tonight to swap out the pumps and see what i can figure out....but i am bored/frustrated and at work...so i figured i would throw this up here to see if anyone has any advise...ideas....opinions....
