so I have a gsr turbo powered EG and last week I was out driving it the oil light came on and we lost boost. I got the car home took the turbo off and made sure it was in good shape, it was... I started the car again and after about 4 seconds the cam started squeaking I put oil on the valve train and started it once again and it didnt make any noise til the oil got whipped off the cam lobes. My first thought is to look at the oil pump because the lower end wasn't making any noise. Is there any other suggestions or do you guys agree that it is probably the oil pump? please let me know asap, I want to get this car going again.

 

is the oil pan dented?

 

ya the oil pan has a few dents in it and i just noticed that there is a wires coming for where the oil pump is and the wire's were broke on the other side of where in plugs together. Im not sure if there's a sensor that comes from those wire's that might make a difference

 

that plug is for the crank flux sensor...your eg is OBD1 and they dont use crank flux sensors, that sensor is useless and shouldnt be plugged into anything.

 

Wait, so the oil light came on and you continued to drive it all the way home?

 

if the oil pan is dented where the oil pickup is, it could have a problem with oil pressure.

 

no i have triple a and i had them come pic it up because the timing also skipped but we retimed it when we got home and it started right up and we checked out the valvetrain and it all looked ok. Ok ya the cars obd1 so i'll just tuck it away a little bit better

 

anyone?

 

the cams were good and the motor doesnt make any lowerend noise, i dont have a oil pressure gauge yet but sounds like it trys to build oil pressure when you rev it up, so im hoping that would be a oil pump and not bearings
