Mayday, Pimp Down
Mayday, Pimp Down, went out for a drive the other night, all was well, drove around and back home just fine. Go to take it out last night and the engine sounds bad. I need Dr Car Stat!!!

Re: Mayday, Pimp Down

Re: Mayday, Pimp Down
not fuel pump
valve cover off and nothing looks or operates wrong, yet I didn't see oil come out the push rods. But they all do spin. hooked up gauge, quickly shoots to 30-40psi on start. Has to be oil not getting to lifters buy why suddenly with no sign....... |

Re: Mayday, Pimp Down
giant blob of small chunks of hard carbon pooled right at the pick up and stuck in it.
new melling pick up with 5/8 tube coming...... funny it is a clean engine, no sludge, how many years did it took to build up enough? |

Re: Mayday, Pimp Down
In the 5.0 for the better half's Volvo. Its was super clean in the pan but had a huge "chunk" of sludge in the LH valve cover. Because the exhaust manifold rose up on that side slowly cooking the oil? Maybe something like that happened in a oil passage in your engine? Just a thought.
