machine gun sound like coming outta my engine every now and then.. (LIFTERS I HOPE).. had to drive it back home ofcourse bout 150-200m and it was still driving fine. let the car idle.. oil light comes on when revs drop below 1000rpm, from previous experience im guessing im losing oil pressure aswell..

someone please say it's just the lifters..
 
have u checked the oil level?
have u drained the oil ?
have u removed the oil filter and cut it in half to see if theres anything wrong?

just do the basica inspections..

checked the oil.. still the same level as i got it from afas..
ill drain it tonight or tomorrow, got work soon.. oil still looks clean though..

that was gonna be my second suggestion.

thats the only thing i can think that would be causing the oil pressure to drop that low at idle
 
its not low at idle.. its fine at idle..
when i gear into 1 slowly take off.. if i dont give enough gas, the revs fall, and the oil light will come on.. other then that, the oil light wont come on..
 
stocky ones.. im beginning to think there my lifters tho.. maybe a few have shit themselves..
 
IT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE LAST TIME! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:


I WANNA BURN IT..
 
93t's are only good if you nana them Vs hammer them. :twisted:
have you had issues befor with them and if so what was done last time ?
 
got an oil pressure gauge mate?
if not, get one...

then u can actually see whats going on with the oil pressure...
 
i had this problem when i removed a fan and the engine was running hotter. What sort of oil are you using maybe a thicker one would do the job.
 
will find out what i'm going to do tomorrow hopefully.. still comtemplating and thinking about my options..
