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...

Vague question is vague.

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

Does this mean you found the fuel pump issue? (sorry im a bit slow)

Yep! Immobilizer

Just ripped it all out.

Also forgot to add - doesn't have an oil light.

As in doesn't have one at all or light isn't turning on?

Isn't turning on*

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...

It's not meant to I don't think.. I've run a car with no rocker cover on and it doesn't throw much oil around lol

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

we're just paranoid about everything on this car as its been a constant struggle/ learning curve

That and if it explodes or seizes then I'm about 8 grand in the shitter

Who says you're not 8 grand in the shitter already?

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.

Doesn't it have warranty?
