Driveshafts in, tie rods replaced, gear selector cables + bracket in...

Seems to be all good. Just have to fix up heater hoses to firewall, connect battery, intake and some vacuum lines.

Question though, it doesn't seem to be getting very much oil up in the heads..? Seems kinda weak. Is this normal or is there something wrong, and if so what could it be? Martin suggested blocked oil lines...

The oil spurting into the heads is fairly weak and there isn't much getting up there, seems like there should be moar.

    yeah it looks fairly dry when you open the oil cap... there is a light 'spit coming through the oil cap but its hardly noteworthy...

    i dont expect oil to be gushing out but i did expect a bit more than that...

    just checked on tweety... oil 'spit' looks much the same, though the cams are covered in oil, im thinking it may just be cause the cams are 'new' and the oil is new its just so clean and runs straight off... from memory there is quite a few oil galleries along each cam shaft

    im 90% sure its perfectly fine and after 100k's the oil will get dirty and it will look more 'normal'

    yeah exactly sahin... from memory the oil pressure only goes nuts when mivec hits

    Sensor for that is on the oil pump, down low on the drivers side, right in the middle of PS - A/C belt circuit, there's a single blade connector on the pump.
