no oil to the heads. :-(

[lmcd]

hi all,
i have a vn v6 motor in an offroad buggy but i am not getting any oil to the heads.
if i unscrew the oil filter a bit then start it there is all pumping out so i imagine pump is ok.
any ideas would be great.
cheers lucas

have you run it with the rocker cover off to see if its coming up to the pushrods to the rocker arms??

Gallerys are prob blocked to shit

[lmcd]

yeah i've had the rocker covers off and def no oil.
i was thinkin blocked gallery.
if it is whats involved in un-blocking it.

cheers lucas

taking the heads off and getting them acid dipped at the engine reconditioners. or just putting on another set of heads would be cheaper

Try putting a couple of bottles of Nulon Oil Flush in there before you go spending big money on something that might not be needed.
