A guy on facebook posted up a link from 4wd action forum that had more to do with oil pressure but was a good read and in the end they had to prime all the galleries to get pressure up.

I would hazard a guess that was me as yours is such an unusual problem I can't imagine there were tow the same this week.

Just wondering if you had any luck to this problem im having the same issue at the moment

Im having the same problem just replaced oil pump cleaned the valves on rear left and oil filter its on a rebuilt engine as well

Mate it came to a catastrophic end with the oil pump gear letting go and sending bits of metal into places it did not belong..

I never pulled down the motor properly to see where it all failed as it was something that would involve me driving to NSW and putting a bullet in some c%$ts head.

Well really its my own fault for buying off the prick.

So I cannot tell you where to look as everything I tried was to no avail and I did not here to advice from Matty and Ben and pull the whole engine apart.

I had another person ask me about 8 months ago as they were having the same issue so it seems it is rare but does happen and I would love to why.

Good luck mate.

Hi, im having the same problem with a silvertop 4.2l. Just finished rebuilding the whole engine and installed it... turbo is now roasted (f-ing great!) Is there no solution with the engine in the car?

I am also wondering if i can close these two holes on the left side and plum oil from the pressure sensor on the right side...
Are there no bearings rolling dry becuse of these passages on the left side being blocked?

Greatings from iceland btw
