I have a uno I.E 999 cc. Ive sorted the noisy distributor but now I've got another problem.
No oil feed to the top of the engine. Ive tried flushing oil followed by fresh oil. NO JOY.
The cam feed pipe is clear and clean. The feed oilway appears clean. You get the oil warning light with ignition switch on, then as soon as you start the engine the light extinguishes as normal indicating there is oil pressure of some sort.
Take the rocker cover off whilst the engine is running and there is NO OIL FEED whatsoever from the cam feed pipe, so the cam is running dry. The car has done 65000 miles verified. Any ideas ??
How much is a new oil pump ?
