I have been trying to figure this engine out in my spare time. Spare time is getting scarce theses days so can you guys help me out? The top end isn't oiling the way it should on either side but the left side is nearly dry. Here is what's been done to it:
I had a head put on 6 years ago
It's sat up for three years
I replaced the lifter assemblies 2 years ago
oil pressure is 40lbs
compression is around 90 on all cylinders
I know it could be a clogged oil passage(s), a spun bearing, etc... Where would you guys start first. The oil rail is supposed to be full of oil or at least partially full...right? I've been thinking about pulling the oil pan for a look-see but I need cheaper less invasive ideas first. Thanks
