thank goodness, scared me there

Sorry mate i meant 2.5-3 bars which is around 35psi give and take few psi’s

Oil pressure showed 217kpa - was that hot or cold, idling or at revs?

I have a similar issue on my V6 and am about to make an adapter to fit a test gauge to get actually readings before l pull anything apart.

Sorry for the late reply, 217 hot

My VZ Monaro oil pressure is similar at warmed up idle. 2.5 Bar =36PSI so that is fine. 217KPA = 31PSI, thats fine for an LS1 warm idle. I can't see your video so no idea what noise you have though. Mine is coming up to 200,000km and all I have is the lifter rattle on cold start when its been sitting for a while.

As I said in reply 21, my VZ V6 was doing similar things. Yesdy I fitted a new oil pressure sensor, which seems to have fixed it. When I removed the harness plug from the sensor it was a bit oily - obviously beginning to leak.

The oil weeps past the pins over time due the excess heat the manifolds generate, and the Bakelite deteriorates.

Hi guys so im about to replace my oil pump and i have realised there is no chains guide at all????? is that normal? please refer to the photos.

Also should i replace the chain as well? is there any trick or just pulling out?

There is supposed to be a tensioner but it was quite fashionable to get rid of it.
That tells us this has been open before and to that end, replace the cam retainer plate. It’s a cheap part that can easily bleed oil pressure if that little seal on it has been compromised.

I’d replace that chain. It could be the photo quality but is that rust on the chain links? Especially left of the stamped 13 and links on the top there.

Again, not an expensive part to replace for what it is.
